A shirtless man scaled a tower that stands over 300 feet at Knott's Berry Farm on Saturday night, drawing police and emergency responders to the Orange County amusement park.
A shirtless man scaled a tower that stands over 300 feet at Knott’s Berry Farm on Saturday night, drawing police and emergency responders to the Orange County amusement park.
The Buena Park Police Department said it was called about 7:30 p.m. and began coaxing the man to come down from the tower. The Supreme Scream tower, which opened in 1998, plummets guests more than 250 feet in a “free fall” that is popular among parkgoers, but the overall structure tops out at 312 feet.
Authorities closed La Palma Avenue between Beach Boulevard and Western Avenue. “Please stay out of the area while we work to bring this person down,” said Buena Park police on Twitter earlier in the night.
