A suspect dubbed ‘Spider-Man’ fled on foot on a dual carriageway then climbed a huge wall to escape cops.
The dramatic moment was captured on the camera phone of a passenger in a passing car.
A man in a blue tracksuit was seen sprinting along the inside lane of the main road.
He appeared to look anxiously behind him as he’s running.
He then darted over to the wall near a bridge and started climbing as police cars pulled up and several officers emerged.
Some of the police appeared to point Tasers at the man who ignored them and kept climbing the 50ft-high wall.
The 50-second-long video ends with the man around a third of the way up with a group of police officers peering up at him from below.
But the man fell and was arrested.
It happened on Wednesday (12 Mar) afternoon on the A406 North Circular, in Chingford, north west London
It caused delays and tailbacks on the north circular road during rush hour.
Locals compared the man to superhero Spider-Man, as reported by Need To Know.
One said: “Man turned into Peter Parker.”
Another said: “I go through there all the time.
“Did Spider-Man make it to the top?”
And another added: “Gonna tell my kids this was Spider-Man.”
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “ At around 4:05pm on Wednesday (12 Mar), police attempted to stop a vehicle on the A406 in Chingford.
