Oct. 11 2016, Published 10:11 a.m. ET
The British Royal family was saved from serious harm when armed police officers caught a psychiatric patient climbing the walls at Buckingham Palace, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.
A London court heard how the terrifying incident unfolded on October 7, when Daniel Sheehan, 22, was arrested while scaling the south gate of the Queen's home at 1:45pm.
In the aftermath Sheehan, unarmed at the time, issued a chilling warning to the officers guarding him, claiming: "I will get a gun, I will use it at the palace to defend myself. I have not got one yet but I will get one."
When appearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court, the crazed Sheehan refused to give his name, and shook his head when asked to confirm his details.
Prosecutor Kevin Christie revealed that Sheehan was discharged from Langley Green Hospital in Crawley, England, on October 6.
The institute is described as being a state-of-the-art hospital specializing in treating people with acute mental health problems.
