British man arrested for climbing the Eiffel Tower

A British man has been arrested after he climbed the Eiffel Tower hours before the start of the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games.

The shirtless man, identified as a professional climber in French media, scaled the 1,083-foot-tall monument without any equipment.

In one video shared on social media, the blond, bearded man, who has not been named, looks into the camera and says “Bloody warm, innit?”.

  1. All the more reason for the EU to hurry up the tough border checks that are coming in November. We need to keep out the English criminals and benefit scroungers who roam our continent.

  2. not wanting anybody to get hurt or disrupt any important events…
