Police and fire crews used a ladder to rescue a shirtless man hanging
upside down by his foot from a basketball hoop at around 6:30pm on
Friday in Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill in Seattle.
The hammer-wielding man somehow climbed up the hoop and became stuck. As nearly a dozen police officers looked on, the man then began thrashing around.
At times he was dangling just by his stuck foot, other times with his head stuck inside the rim, all in an apparent attempt to free his foot.
Twice as the man dangled by just his foot upside down, police officers attempted to get him free, to no avail.
It took a ladder from a Seattle Fire truck and two firefighters to climb up and cut down the net and free the man.
Seattle Police say they're still deciding whether to cite the unidentified man for any wrongdoing.
