Dubai - Arab Today
A British daredevil known online for his videos of skyscraper climbs was detained by police in Dubai over his recent climbs there.
James Kingston told The Associated Press in a message Sunday that he had been detained and later released, without elaborating. He wrote online Saturday that “four undercover agents plucked me from my hotel room.”
WATCH: British daredevil arrested for Dubai skyscraper stunt
Dubai police and British Embassy officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the AP.
However, the state-owned newspaper Emarat Al Youm quoted Dubai police Brig. Gen. Salem Khalifa Al-Rumaithi on Sunday as confirming police had “summoned” Kingston over recent climbs in the sheikhdom.
Al-Rumaithi accused Kingston of previously ignoring police warnings about his stunts endangering him and others after officers arrested him in 2014 over another skyscraper climb.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
