Your support makes all the difference.Police in Australia have arrested a man who allegedly evaded arrest after finding him hanging by his underwear from a six-foot-high fence.
Officers in Adelaide were called just before 3am following reports of someone smashing windows at a house under construction.
"They lost sight of him, but soon found him dangling upside down from a six-foot fence by his underwear, after he became caught while trying to jump the fence," senior constable Matt Brown, of South Australia Police, told local radio.
"So one day you're going to get caught with your pants down ... and today was that man's day," he continued.
The 23-year-old was arrested and charged with being unlawfully on premises, breach of bail, and carrying an offensive weapon after a knife was found in his pocket.
The man was bailed to appear in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court at a later date.
Investigations into the property damage are ongoing.
