A climber scaled the north face of the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Sunday, the final day of the Olympics, earlier than he was intercepted by police mid-way up, police mentioned.
“At 2.45 pm, an individual was seen climbing the Eiffel Tower. The police immediately intervened and arrested the individual,” a police spokesman mentioned.
Videos posted on social media confirmed the bare-chested climber skirting the Olympic rings as he made his approach up with out ropes. In one, the grinning climber will be heard saying to bystanders “bloody warm, innit?” as he’s escorted off the viewing platform by police.
The tower operator didn’t reply to a request for remark.
