The man was scaling the 123-storey Lotte World Tower in southern Seoul yesterday when staff spotted him, forcing him to stop his ascent as he reached the 73rd floor.
“Lotte staff had to go on a gondola lift to persuade him to stop when he was still climbing above the building’s 70th floor,” an official said. “He finally gave in and we arrested him at the scene for obstruction of official business. He is currently being questioned in Songpa district.”to our Premium Plan for an ad-free and unlimited reading experience!
