Noida, Uttar Pradesh: In a bizarre incident on Sunday afternoon, a man believed to be under the influence climbed an electric tower in Noida’s Sector 76 and began performing frantic stunts, including dancing on top of the structure. The episode unfolded around 1:30 pm, drawing a large crowd and prompting a swift response from police, fire services, and the power department.
A video circulating on social media shows the man standing at the tower’s peak, waving his arms and dancing, seemingly oblivious to the potential dangers. Bystanders gathered below, some recording the incident while others tried to coax him down. Despite their efforts, the man initially refused to come down, prolonging the high-stakes standoff for nearly two hours.
Authorities, including police and fire officials, engaged in careful negotiations to ensure his safe descent. “We told him that we will solve all his problems and hear him… just asked him to come down,” said a police official. After prolonged persuasion, the man finally complied and was brought down safely by emergency responders.
According to police sources, the man appeared mentally disturbed, though it remains unclear whether he was intoxicated. He was taken to a hospital for medical assessment, and further investigations are underway to understand his actions and mental state.
