Footage of the stunt shocked Gold Coast locals who described the man’s antics as foolish and reckless.
‘Oh my God! Very dangerous what he’s doing,’ one man told Nine News.
Another added: ‘Unacceptable. That’s crazy!’
Others questioned why the daredevil was up there with the Gold Coast renowned for its Spiderman burglaries.
The incident prompted authorities to warn high rise apartment residents to keep balcony doors locked to deter similar daredevils from breaking in.
Queensland Police confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that it’s aware of the video and is investigating the incident.
‘There is no further information at this time,’ a spokesman said.
The shocking incident was filmed hours after a man aged in his 30s was rushed to hospital with horrific leg injuries after he fell six metres from a beer garden balcony in nearby Surfers Paradise on Saturday night.
It’s understood he was trying to retrieve a dropped phone at the time.
