A teen who’s “mates” chained him to a lamppost with a bike chain was freed by police after flagging them down as they drove past.
Stuck.
His friends left their poor mate tied to the lamppost for hours before the police came and free him… some mates right?
The incident happened in Leicester, and no, the police aren’t looking for the guys who did it, they actually found it quite funny, as I’m sure many of you reading this will! It’s just a relief the camera man left the lads face out… you know, to save him any more embarrassment!
A tweet from the force that rescued him read: “As they say, ‘every day’s different’ in policing.
“Well, it certainly was this evening, when we were flagged down by this young lad who been tied to the post by his ‘friends’ for a joke.
“The bolt croppers came to the rescue.”
A spokesman for Leicestershire Police said: “At around 9pm on Sunday, officers came across a youth in St Saviours Road who was fastened to a lamp post.
“Officers spoke to the youth, who said it had been done by friends as a prank.
“They used bolt cutters to free him.”
