A man scales the 140-metre-high eastern tower of Melbourne’s Bolte Bridge and paints a large cartoon bird on it, disrupting morning commuter traffic. Police report that he remains in a restricted area and refuses to follow their directions to come down. During the stand-off, the man demands that a peanut butter sandwich be delivered to him by drone before he will descend. The situation leads to police actions to manage the incident, including closing at least one lane on the bridge while authorities handle the standoff. Multiple outlets describe the event as a coordinated disruption of the bridge’s normal operations, with officials working on resolution while the man stays on the tower. No further details about his identity, injuries, or the final outcome are provided in the available excerpts. The incident draws attention to safety risks posed by people entering restricted infrastructure areas and obstructing major road links during peak travel periods.
