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.

I guess you can't just hand a guy like that a knife and tell him to cut himself free.
And for once, the police seemed pretty gentle with their subject.
In case you didn't notice, Anonymous, he's white.
