A British man<\/a> was detained after climbing more than half way up the world\u2019s fifth-tallest skyscraper in Seoul with only his bare hands on Monday, authorities said.<\/p>\n

More than 90 emergency, police and other personnel were dispatched to the 123-story, 1,820-foot-tall Lotte World Tower, after the man was spotted scaling the building on Monday morning, the Seoul fire agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The man, in his 20s, reached the 72nd floor, which is about 1,020 feet high, before officials took him to a gondola lift and moved him inside the building, the statement said.<\/p>\n

FREE CLIMBER SCALES ANOTHER LONDON SKYSCRAPER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

South Korean media identified the man as free climber<\/a> George King-Thompson. The reports said he was carrying a parachute and told police that he wanted to BASE-jump from the top of the building.<\/p>\n

Fire and police authorities didn\u2019t immediately confirm the man\u2019s name or his motive.<\/p>\n

King-Thompson was arrested in 2019 after scaling the Shard in London \u2014 the U.K.\u2019s tallest skyscraper at 1,017 feet\u2014 after the owners of the building pressed charges against him for trespassing. He was sentenced to six months in prison and served three.<\/p>\n

In 2021, he climbed the 36-story Stratosphere Tower, a residential block in east London\u2019s Stratford neighborhood and reached the top in less than half an hour. He said he picked the building because he was shocked by the flash floods that recently hit the area and wanted to raise awareness to the seriousness of climate change.<\/p>\n

Police confirmed they took custody of the man but didn\u2019t provide further details.<\/p>\n

The Lotte Property & Development, which operates the tower, said the man didn\u2019t suffer any major injuries. The fire agency statement said he suffered a cut on his skin on the right knee.<\/p>\n

In 2018, French climber Alain Robert, known as “Spiderman” for his daring stunt, was also detained after climbing the 75th floor of the Lotte World Tower. Lotte officials said they heard he was eventually released and left South Korea<\/a> after they told police they didn\u2019t want to press charges for obstruction or trespassing.<\/p>\n

The Lotte Property & Development said company officials were expected to discuss what to do with the British man.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
