Footage captured the bizarre moment a man became stuck on telecom wires high above the ground.
The man had been staying in a hotel in China but decided he didn’t want to pay his bill at the end.
Instead of fronting up, he tried to escape out of the window of his high-rise room.
He clung to telecom wires which were connected to another building nearby in Panzhou.

But before he reached his destination, he became tangled and stuck on the wires.
He had to be rescued by firefighters, before being escorted away by police.
The video of the guest’s foiled escape has gone viral since it was shared on People’s Daily China.
One YouTube user commented: “Well, that's one way to get out of paying your bill…”

While you might not be as scared of your hotel bill as this man, there are sometimes unexpected charges to watch out for.
You may have found a hotel room at a bargain price, but you could end up paying a whole lot more if you’re not careful.
While you might consider paying more for a bigger room, some cheeky hotels are now slapping extra charges on anything from room safes to drinking the coffee.

Even Wi-Fi is sometimes seen as an optional extra.
Many hotels in the US and the UK now charge a daily rate to go online during your stay.
Bjorn Hanson, professor at NYU, said: “Fees and surcharges are highly profitable; many have incremental profitability of 80 to 90 per cent or more of the amounts collected.
“Some fees and surcharges are sometimes unfairly called ‘hidden’ or ‘surprise,’ but disclosure on websites, confirmation emails, ‘tent’ cards in guest rooms, room service menus, and guest service binders continues to increase in the nature of the disclosure.”
