They close and evacuate the Eiffel tower by a man who tries to climb it

The operating company of the Eiffel Tower (SETE) was forced Monday to evacuate the tourists who visited this monument and close its doors because of the presence of a man who climbed the building.

A spokeswoman for SETE told EFE that the monument workers, one of the most visited in the world, had discovered early in the afternoon a man perched on the building structure, which had led them to evacuate and close the place.

Firefighters and police moved to the place, whose surroundings were cut off in transit to facilitate the intervention. The Eiffel Tower remains closed until further notice, the usual procedure in this type of situation.
