Authorities arrested a man Tuesday morning after he climbed the 60-story Salesforce Tower in San Francisco.

Shortly after 10 a.m., the San Francisco Fire Department tweeted a picture of the man, who appeared to be high up the tower, the tallest in the Bay Area.

Shortly after 10:45 a.m., the man reached the top of the tower, where he was arrested. A KPIX 5 live camera atop the tower captured the arrest.

Located on Mission Street, the 1,070-foot headquarters of Salesforce is the nation's 17th tallest building, and the second tallest west of the Mississippi River.
