British Climber Arrested Scaling Eiffel Tower
News summary

Louis Davis, a British professional climber and stunt coordinator, was arrested for scaling the Eiffel Tower without ropes on the final day of the Paris Olympics, prompting an evacuation of the area. Davis, who was shirtless and quipped 'bloody warm, innit?' upon arrest, faces charges of endangering lives and trespassing at a historical site, which could result in a one-year prison sentence and a significant fine. The incident occurred around 2:45 pm, with police intervening and detaining him just above the Olympic rings. The climb disrupted the Olympics' closing day security, which saw over 30,000 officers deployed across Paris. The Eiffel Tower, a centerpiece of the opening ceremony, was not part of the closing ceremony held at Stade de France.
