The man, who has not been identified, entered a construction site near the intersection of Crawford and Rusk streets near the Discovery Green, ABC 13 in Houston reported.
The man managed to climb to the operator’s cabin, which is 15-20 stories high and began to move around in the cabin.
Houston police told KPRC that he was not making threats and officers were unable to contact him through radio.
SWAT officers climbed the ladder and nabbed the man after 6 a.m. It took about 45 minutes for them to descend from the cabin, ABC 13 reported.
It is unclear why he climbed the crane or if he will face any charges.
