United Kingdom A man with a crossbow is arrested in the grounds of Windsor Castle, where Elizabeth II spends Christmas
The man arrested on Saturday after having infiltrated with a crossbow in the compound of Windsor Castle, residence of Elizabeth II west of London, said in a video that he wanted to "assassinate the queen," said the British tabloid 'The Sun' on Monday. '.
The 19-year-old lived in Southampton, southern England, and was arrested on Saturday around 8:30 GMT after the alarms were activated.
Elizabeth II, 95, spent the Christmas holidays at Windsor Castle, outside London, which is now her main residence.
On Sunday, police said
the man had been admitted to a psychiatric facility.
The newspaper 'The Sun' published images of a video allegedly released on the
suspect's Snapchat account minutes before he entered the premises.
In the video, the individual is seen wearing a crossbow and wearing a black hoodie.
Behind a white mask he is heard saying:
"I am sorry for what I have done and what I am going to do. I will try to assassinate Queen Elizabeth."
With apparent references to the 'Star Wars' saga, he introduces himself as a Sikh Indian and says he
seeks "revenge" for a massacre committed in 1919 by British troops against protesters in India.
Although they did not confirm the authenticity of that recording, London police said that "investigators are evaluating the content of a video."
Attempts to enter Windsor or Buckingham Palace, the queen's habitual residence, located in the heart of London, are not unusual.
The most spectacular occurred in 1982, when a 30-year-old man, Michael Fagan, managed to enter the Queen's bedroom while in bed.
