A labourer had to be rescued after he fell asleep 75ft in the air on a glass roof.

Isaac Moore, 27, went out to celebrate getting a new job and woke up with a firefighter next to him.

He was found on top of the Grand Arcade in Cambridge on Satruday after having somehow climbed the curved glass roof.

A court heard today that he’d drunk six pints before scaling the building.

He first denied the offence but when police asked if he had caused a public nuisance he said: ‘Yeah, I was found on the roof so I suppose I did.’

He told police he thought it was an overreaction when he was arrested.

His solicitor said: ‘He is very embarrassed and ashamed of his behaviour and in no way does he seek to diminish or minimize the impact of his actions on the public and the emergency services.

‘He had gone out on Saturday to celebrate a new job, clearly he drank too much and has no recollection how he ended up on that roof.’

Eleven shops had to be evacuated and a cordon was put in place while he was rescued.

It’s believed he climbed a fire escape on a branch of Barclays Bank before going onto the shopping centre.

He pleaded guilty this morning and will be sentenced this afternoon.
