FIRE crews were called to free a man who got trapped on some railings and hung upside down for three hours.
The man, who is thought to have been in his 20s, was taking a shortcut home when he decided to climb over some railings in Cheapside East, Rayleigh.
But he got stuck when his jeans caught on the railings, leaving him hanging upside down by his ankles.
Firefighters from Rayleigh and Leigh, were called out at 6.30am today (Saturday) to help free the man, who told firefighters he had been there for about three hours.
He was left in the care of paramedics.
