British man detained after attempting to climb South Korean skyscraper

A British man was caught climbing the Lotte World Tower in Seoul, the fifth tallest building in the world, without a rope. He was arrested on charges of trespassing and obstruction of business. Firefighters and police were dispatched to the scene, and the man was brought down an hour later. He had planned to parachute off the tower, which has been a longtime dream of his. The man has been identified as George King-Thompson, but further details of his identity and how he accessed the building have not been released.
