And finally… Blind madness (video)
Reading time: 1 minute
A man has appeared in court after he climbed the outside of the 13-storey Aberdeen Royal Infirmary car park while blindfolded.
Robbie Borthwick admitted a breach of the peace charge over the matter when he appeared in the dock at Aberdeen Sheriff Court yesterday.
The 22-year-old has posted a number of YouTube videos of himself free-climbing various tall buildings and structures around Aberdeen.
A video of the act posted online describes it as a “Birdbox Challenge” – a craze linked to a hit film which saw people trying to carry out various tasks and activities while blindfolded.
Speaking outside court following the hearing, Borthwick said his days of free-climbing were over.
Sentence was deferred for reports.
