| The man stuck in a traffic cone |
(Scroll down for video) A man desperately begged for help after getting stuck inside a traffic cone, according to video uploaded to the internet.
The man, was seen walking around with a plastic cone on his head while joking about it with friends on Sunday. The man had to be rescued by police officers after he was unable to break free of the traffic cone.
A passerby, John Waterman, captured the incident, which occurred in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, on his mobile phone.
Waterman, 28, said: "It was really unusual, you don’t see these kind of things in the center of Hemel Hempstead.
I came out from Burger King and this man had a traffic cone stuck on his head.
I have seen him walking with it on top of his head about five minutes. No one helped him because they thought he was joking around."
The man was trapped in the traffic cone for over two hours as shoppers and passersby stopped to see the strange incident.
An interested observer finally called the police. That is when police rescued the man.
Waterman said: "He did not seem to be too distressed, but when he finally emerged his face was red.
It took his friend and a police officer to remove the traffic cone. His face was left scratched from the ordeal."
"The police officer found the incident to be very funny and laughed to himself," Waterman said.Mobile video not loading? Click here to view
