A man has been charged with criminal damage and threatening behaviour after an alleged incident outside showman David Blaine's box.
Stephen Charles Field, 38, was arrested early on Tuesday and taken to a south London police station.
The cleaner, from Godalming in Surrey, is alleged to have climbed a scaffold support tower connected to Blaine's cage and to have tried to cut the line which delivers water to the American illusionist.
He was released on bail and is due to appear before Tower Bridge Magistrates' Court on 30 September.
Blaine is taking part in an endurance test, staying 30 feet (nine metres) off the ground in his plastic box, with only water, for 44 days.
Blaine, 30, who has taken part in similar feats in the US in the past, is 11 days into the London stunt.
He has been taunted by people hitting golf balls at his box, a female spectator partially stripped off beneath him and he has been woken by drumming.

Laser pens have been shone at him - which reportedly caused concern because he thought they may have been from rifle sights.
