The department expressed gratitude to local commuters for avoiding the area during the active containment zone operations.

"It was a particularly precarious situation, quite dangerous to the accused person," Wallis told reporters.

Authorities managed to resolve the high-altitude confrontation securely after extensive dialogue on the embankment.

"It was difficult for us to negotiate that safe conclusion but we got it," Wallis said.

Gibson-Burrell has previously faced 209 legal charges linked to the widespread "Pam the Bird" graffiti network, which has targeted multiple heritage-listed landmarks across Melbourne.

State prosecutors previously accused him of causing approximately $700,000 in damages, including an incident in July 2024 where he allegedly abseiled the Flinders Street station clock tower.

The defendant previously entered a not guilty plea regarding the prior vandalism cases and secured legal bail in May under strict judicial requirements.
