HOW’S THIS FOR a nightmare situation? A man had to be rescued after getting stuck on top of a raised bridge in Florida yesterday, completely naked.

According to the Sun Sentinel, it’s thought that the man had been swimming in the nip and got out of the water to cross the bridge.

As he was walking, the drawbridge was raised, leaving him stranded on top.

To make matters worse, the fire brigade didn’t have ladders tall enough to rescue him – police had to climb up on the bridge, wrap him in a towel, and lower him down in a harness.

Police say the man has denied any drug use.
