Yes, perimiter doesn't seem necessary, particularly if Frank is right and it was accidental. Then you could consider other options like "got tangled/entwined in the wire".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi David! You seem right. Looks like as simple as that. I wonder whether the words "perimeter\circumference" can be omitted because "around the structure" is enough

Asker: No, the diamond wire was intentionally wound around the structure to cut it

  -> Yes, that occurred to me as well (that it might be accidental)
