A man sparked a huge emergency services response after scaling scaffolding at Trafford Town Hall. Scott Wright, 33, caused a four-hour road closure on December 29 last year.
Manchester Magistrates' Court heard Talbot Road was shut after police negotiators, paramedics and firefighters rushed to the scene. Wright climbed the building before calling 999.
A cordon was erected, with members of the public facing disruption. Wright was brought down at around 9.40am and sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

Prosecutor Shazia Aslam told the court Wright had a 'history' of making calls to emergency and mental health services. The court heard how Wright, who suffers with PTSD, depression and was recently diagnosed with anti-social personality disorder would call emergency services asking for help, saying he intended to 'cause mayhem' if he didn't get it.
Defence solicitor Jon Mail said Wright's behaviour was a 'cry for help'.
The court heard Wright was frustrated at the lack of support he had for 'very serious mental health issues'. His past convictions were a result of that frustration, it was said.
Mr Mail told the court Wright had not contacted police since the incident and was receiving support.
Wright told chair of the bench Janet Glancy: "I've been getting support from my friends and other people like Trafford Housing and I see a psychiatrist every month and also a care co-ordinator."
Wright, who admitted intentionally or recklessly causing a public nuisance, was made the subject of a 12-month community order. He is required to complete 20 days of rehabilitation activities.
