Windsor Castle’s crossbow intruder reportedly scaled Queen Elizabeth’s security fence with a rope ladder.
Thames Valley police reportedly corroborated the news and explained that the suspect was stopped “within moments of him entering the grounds.”
This incident is believed to be the third major security breach in the last year and according to eyewitness testimony a security source explained to The Sun, "I'm told the man had a crossbow."
Superintendent Rebecca Mears also issued a statement in response to the incident and admitted, "The man has been arrested on suspicion of breach or trespass of a protected site and possession of an offensive weapon.”
“He remains in custody at this time. We can confirm security processes were triggered within moments of the man entering the grounds and he did not enter any buildings."
