A 44-year-old man wrapped in the English flag disrupted international rail traffic when he refused to come down from the roof of the St. Pancras train station in central London, according to CNN. Eurostar trains were delayed until mid morning in London. Police were able to coax the man down and arrest him Saturday morning after he spent the night on the roof. “A 44 year old man has this morning been arrested for trespass and obstruction of the railway, having spent the night on the roof of St. Pancras Railway Station,” according to a statement from the British Transport Police. The man was thought to be part of a pro-Brexit march held on Friday in central London on the day the United Kingdom was meant to leave the European Union.
