A man who climbed the Big Ben Tower (Elizabeth Tower), one of the symbols of England, in the capital London, yesterday morning with a Palestinian flag, climbed down 16 hours later and was arrested by British police.
“We worked with other agencies, including the London Fire Brigade, and deployed specialist officers to bring this incident to an end as quickly as possible while minimizing the risk to life,” said the Metropolitan Police Service.
Police said that the roads that were closed in the area were reopened after the man was arrested.
