A rake of police had to rescue a man who got stuck in a basketball net
YouTube YouTube
LAST FRIDAY EVENING, police were called to a basketball court in Seattle to free a man who had gotten himself stuck upside down in a basketball net.
Did we mention that he had a hammer as well, for some reason? Because he had a hammer.
In this video from local news station KOMO, the man can be seen hanging from his feet from the hoop, writhing and generally being a nuisance to the many, many police who appeared on scene to help him.
So. Many. Police.
Despite all those police, KOMO reports that it took ten minutes and two firefighters to free the man.
Seattle Police aren’t above cracking jokes about the situation though:
We have so many questions:
Please let us know, Hoop Man.
This man went to the loo during a big meeting… with his microphone still on>
