The man climbed up the crane on Thursday morning.
A man protesting about fathers' rights has climbed down from a 300 feet crane and given himself up to police.
The man, who had been dressed in a Spiderman costume, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass.
The protest began after he climbed up the crane in Chester Street in the early hours of Thursday.
He is believed to belong to the Fathers 4 Justice group which campaigns for fathers in broken relationships to be allowed more access to their children.
There was relatively little disruption caused by the incident which ended at approximately 1345 GMT on Friday.
The crane stands over a building site close to the busy Oxford Road.
In a separate demonstration, two people who earlier climbed to the top of a gantry on the M60 motorway near to junction 9 have now come down and been arrested.
The 47- year-old man and 43-year-old woman were arrested under the Road Traffic Act and will be interviewed later.
