A group of graffiti vandals were arrested after getting trapped on the side of a historic high-rise during a brazen spray-painting spree.
The men were seen Sunday morning perched on the window ledges of the 24-story Brasilar building in São Paulo, Brazil.
A witness called police around 5am local time and responding cops arrived only to find them struggling to climb down from as high as the fifth floor.
It took eight hours for the suspects to be safely removed from the property.
Eight graffiti writers and two witnesses were taken to a local police station, where their statements were taken.
The São Paulo Department of Public Safety said in a statement that it was investigating the incident.
The Brasilar Building was constructed in 1943 by Capua & Capua Construction Company for Lar Brasil Mortgage Bank.
The tower, which covers two blocks, has always stood out for its art deco style.
It initially operated as a hotel for several years before it was converted into a residential building.
It is designated a historical site by the Vale do Anhangabaú council.
