Police arrested a man climbing on the Eiffel Tower, leading to visitors being temporarily stranded at the summit – including a man who decided during the wait to propose to his partner.

Amir Khan, from Washington, DC, had been planning to propose to Kat Warren later on Thursday in a Paris garden away from the crowds, with a romantic dinner on the River Seine also on the menu.
