Man opgepakt na beklimmen Eiffeltoren met Amerikaanse vlag

A man was arrested after climbing the Eiffel Tower and hanging an American flag on Saturday afternoon. The incident caused the evacuation of the monument's plaza and two floors. According to Paris police, the man was spotted between the second and third floor around 15:45, where he hung the flag before being detained upon reaching the third floor. His origin and intentions remain unknown, and he is now suspected of endangering others' lives. This occurred on July 4th, the United States' Independence Day, which marks the 250th anniversary of the country's independence from Britain. Earlier this week, a similar incident took place in New York City, where a Russian couple climbed the top of the Empire State Building, and the man proposed marriage to his partner before both were arrested.
