A man in London scaled one of the tallest buildings in Europe early Monday, without using any harnesses, ropes or suction cups.
The Metropolitan Police said on Twitter that authorities were contacted around 5:15 a.m. after reports of a "free-climber" on The Shard.

Another witness, Rose E Gillott, said that two police cars, two ambulances and a drone were deployed in response.

The previous year, The Shard secured an injunction against Alain Robert, the climber nicknamed the French Spiderman, to stop him from attempting to scale the building.
