A man has been caught on camera trying to escape first-floor flat by walking along a parade of shops while onlookers call the police.
Passersby watched in disbelief as the man climbed out of a window above a KFC in on Praed Street in Paddington, central London, yesterday and walked along shop awnings before breaking into another window.
The man, who has been nicknamed Spider-Man, first appears at a window above KFC, then edges along above a Subway and several other shops while clutching a coat.

Trying windows as he goes, he eventually pushes a casement window above a noodle shop, the glass smashes and he falls in.
The person filming then shouts to another onlooker: ‘Someone call the police! If he comes out of the door we are stopping that c***.’

The window the man climbed out of can be seen open with what looks like a white powder covering the sill.
People on Twitter joked that the man might be escaping an angry husband who had returned home.
One said: ‘I suspect he came out of the window at the start where the naked women is and a fast approaching husband up the stairs….’
