Man with hammer stuck upside down in basketball hoop in Seattle

[zwiebel]

A man had to be rescued from a Seattle park Friday, after he was found hanging upside down and shirtless from a baseball hoop. He was also managing to carry a hammer.

This may or may not be connected to May Day protests in Seattle. Police said they 'might' charge him with goal-tending, but I suspect they may have been jesting...

It took that many police to figure out what to do and to get him down?

Oh no! Too late to change it now. I got the thread title right then swapped games in the story. Bizarre. Oh dear.

Here's another pic of the man anyhow, where he was wedged right inside the hoop. Very strange predicament to get himself into.
