Then the police received another phone call. Now the same man allegedly entered a store, stole an employee's cell phone and refused to return it. He then allegedly punched the employee in the chest and fled the scene.

While the police tried to find the perpetrator in the area where he was last seen, they received a new investigation.

A man had climbed onto the roof and was now throwing bricks into the street. This also turned out to be the same person.

Instead, he ended up throwing himself onto one of the phone lines that ran across the street. He is said to have held on to him for a full 45 minutes.

The area below him was secured by the fire service, and eventually the man was forced to leave the roof. After two hours of escaping, health workers examined him and arrested him. The man was then charged with burglary, theft and disorderly conduct.
