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:
- Why did he climb up into the hoop?
- Why is he flailing and thrashing so hard?
- How come he brought a hammer?
Please let us know, Hoop Man.
