A man who became the first person to stand on Wembley's Arch has been quizzed by police in Dubai over stunts in the city.

James Kingston was questioned by officers after recent stunts in the popular holiday destination, authorities said on Sunday (March 5).

The daredevil said on Twitter: "Four undercover agents plucked me from my hotel room earlier today with no warning."

He added he was later detained and released hours later.

The 25-year-old posts videos online showing him scaling skyscrapers and cranes, with his most recent showing him shimmy over a fence at a construction site in downtown Dubai.

The state-owned newspaper Emarat Al Youm quoted Dubai police Brigadier General Salem Khalifa al-Rumaithi on Sunday confirming police had "summoned" Kingston over recent climbs.

Al-Rumaithi said Kingston previously had been arrested in 2014 after climbing to the top of the Princess Tower in Dubai Marina, which at over 400 metres (1,300 feet) is the second-tallest building in Dubai.

Dubai police later issued a statement saying Kingston "was not arrested, but was asked to sign a statement that he will not attempt to perform such stunts in Dubai".

The statement added: "Kingston's dangerous stunts on buildings in Dubai violated Dubai's strict regulations prohibiting such activities."

Kingston's detention is the second major incident involving stunts on Dubai's skyscrapers.

In February, Dubai police contacted a Russian model who posted images online of herself, holding onto only a man's hand, dangling out over the side of 300-metre (985ft) Cayan Tower.

Kingston earns money from selling T-shirts and posters commemorating his stunts. He has also written a book about his exploits.

While on top of a Dubai crane in his most-recent video, Kingston stopped to look out on the glittering Burj Khalifa - the world's tallest building.

He said: "I would love to stand on top of that: Goals."
