A naked man found himself on top of a 100-foot tall drawbridge this weekend in Fort Lauderdale.

For those of you not familiar with American geography, that’s in Florida, where it’s quite hot.

It isn’t unsurprising, therefore, that when police finally got to the man, he was looking a bit rouge.

‘Once you’re up there, I would imagine you realize that you don’t want to be up there anymore,’ said a fire department official.

‘There’s no place to go. There’s no way to climb down.’



Bizarrely, the man didn’t plan to go up the drawbridge. He just happened to be strolling across the bridge naked – as you do – at a really bad time.

The naked man was taken to hospital to be treated for ‘burns to the buttocks’, reports WPLG Local 10 News.
