CALAIS, Oct 11 (AFP) - A 39 year-old South African man was detained in France after walking through the channel tunnel from Britain, police said Tuesday.
The unnamed man, who had only a pair of flip-flop sandals on his feet, was spotted by security cameras at the French end of the 50-km tunnel early Sunday morning.
French police said the man appeared to be mentally instable. He was not a migrant or a refugee, they said. He has since been returned to Britain.
A spokesman for tunnel operator Eurotunnel said the man had taken advantage of a "brief malfunction of the systems of surveillance."
