This is the best summary I could come up with:

PARIS (AP) — Police arrested a man climbing Thursday on the Eiffel Tower, leading to visitors being temporarily stranded at the summit — including a reporter for The Associated Press and a Washington, D.C., couple who decided during the wait to get married.

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

But when the lifts were temporarily shut down because of the climber, stranding the couple and others at the top, Khan decided to spring his surprise.

The climber was found between the tower’s second and third floors, said Alice Beunardeau, communications director for the Paris landmark.

Beunardeau said she’d been subsequently informed that the man was carrying a banner about American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish.

AP’s Eaton-Robb and his wife Kathleen have had a mis-adventurous weeklong visit to Paris: On Tuesday, they were also in a crowd that was evacuated from the Palace of Versailles because of a security scare.

But when the lifts were temporarily shut down…, stranding the couple and others at the top, Khan decided to spring his surprise.

Khan, you were lucky that a French lift started working again before you died.
