A man armed with a crossbow who was arrested after attempting to break into Windsor Castle, where Queen Elizabeth was celebrating Christmas, is being held under the Mental Health Act, London police said Sunday (26).
Police said the 19-year-old from Southampton, southern England, was arrested moments after arriving on the castle grounds on Christmas morning and did not break into any buildings.
“The man was arrested and subjected to a mental health assessment; since then, it has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and remains under the care of medical professionals,” police said.
“After the man was searched, a beast was found.”
Queen Elizabeth, who spent much of the Covid-19 pandemic at Windsor Castle, spent Christmas there with her son Prince Charles, his wife Camilla and other close family members.
The arrested youth used a rope ladder to climb a metal fence, according to the Mail on Sunday.
