A masked man scaled the dome of the iconic Constanța Casino in Romania, apparently to take a selfie. The daring stunt, which bypassed security measures, was captured by onlookers and quickly spread across the internet, earning the individual the nickname "Spiderman" from some users.
How did he manage to climb up there without anyone seeing him?
Footage circulating online shows the man, dressed in dark clothing and a red balaclava to conceal his identity, perched atop one of the building's architectural structures. Many viewers expressed astonishment at his ability to reach such an inaccessible point, with one commenter asking, "How did he manage to climb up there without anyone seeing him?"
What fine did he get when he came down?
The incident also sparked curiosity about the authorities' response. Commenters wondered about potential fines or if police were waiting for him upon his descent.

Did the police greet him with open arms down there?
