Early in the morning, the individual ascended a pillar of the renowned monument.
The tower's operating company, SETE (Société d’Exploitation de la tour Eiffel), stated that security personnel identified the man within a minute of his entry. Despite attempts by the tower's intervention team to dissuade him, he executed his jump from the landmark.
He landed on the roof of a nearby athletic facility and was subsequently taken into custody by law enforcement.
SETE filed a formal complaint following the incident, condemning the reckless behavior that jeopardized the safety of individuals working on or around the structure.
The Eiffel Tower experienced a minor delay in its opening that morning due to the incident. This event marks the latest in a string of security breaches at the site over the past week.
Two American tourists were found on Monday morning after an intoxicated night at the Eiffel Tower, as revealed by the monument's management. The pair, who possessed tickets for a Sunday evening visit, were allegedly stranded due to excessive alcohol consumption, according to the Paris prosecutor's office.
Furthermore, on Saturday, the tower underwent an evacuation lasting several hours due to a bomb scare.
All three levels of the tower, along with the courtyard, were cleared while officials evaluated the threat.
