The man who climbed Big Ben in London with a Palestinian flag yesterday came down last night and was detained by police in the British capital, DPA reported, quoted by BTA.
The man, who was barefoot, stayed up for 16 hours, Reuters reports. The man, who also chanted "Freedom for Palestine", said he was coming down voluntarily.
At 07:24 (09:24 Bulgarian time) yesterday, London police were alerted to a man climbing the "Elizabeth" Tower at the Palace of Westminster, where the British parliament is located, according to Agence France-Presse.
Westminster Bridge had to be closed, leading to heavy traffic jams in this area of central London.
