Qld bridge 'abseiler' to face court

A man who allegedly abseiled off Brisbane's Story Bridge is set to face court.

The stunt caused two lanes of traffic to close for about an hour as police worked to pluck the man and his rope from the structure on July 18.

The 42-year-old was arrested after he was eventually lowered into a water police boat and brought to shore.

He is due to face the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Tuesday on one count of unregulated high-risk activities.
