The Brit was arrested in 2014 for the same crimes, when he climbed the Princess Tower in Dubai Marina.
The dangerous acts are turning into a trend with the Russian model dangling from Cayan Tower last month gaining international attention.
Major-General Khalil Ebrahim Al Mansouri, Assistant to the Dubai Police Chief for Criminal Investigation Affairs, has previously said any individuals performing these stunts will be arrested
Al Mansouri explained: “If people want to perform such stunts, they need to obtain a permission and inform the specialised authority. Such dangerous acts require specific safety measures to be taken and preparation in order to secure their lives. We will arrest individuals if they have not obtained a permission.”
