The man, who is said to be an undocumented migrant asking to be regularized, refused to get off. Rail traffic was interrupted while emergency services intervened. The firefighters had to recover it. The police were also there.
As a difficulty never comes alone, a nest of Asian hornets hanging higher up forced the firefighters to put on safety gear, according to a source at the Vaucluse departmental fire and rescue service.
Several onlookers witnessed the scene.
