A nakéd
man clambered atop a large equestrian statue in the heart of London's
Whitehall government district Friday, striking a variety of precarious
poses before being coaxed down by police nearly three hours later.
London
police said that the man, believed to be in his 30s or 40s, first
climbed atop the massive bronze statue of the 19th-century duke of
Cambridge around noon.
He climbed up and down the statue in the late autumn chill, at one point balancing himself on the duke's head.
The
man eventually came down after police and emergency services cordoned
off the area, which is home to several government buildings including
the prime minister's official residence.
Scotland Yard said the man was detained under Britain's Mental Health Act.
