A man scaled a fence and attempted to break into Buckingham Palace as Queen Elizabeth II slept, causing a panic at the royal residence.
A 22-year-old man is being held by authorities after breaching the palace boundaries at 2 a.m. Wednesday morning. It took on-site police about four minutes to detain the man as he banged on the doors of the palace containing the 93-year-old queen.
