Fear of police, too.
In Istanbul’s Güngören district, a would-be burglar attempting to
break into a building—vacated as part of an urban transformation
project—ended up stranded while trying to climb through a
window. Suffering from a fear of heights (!), the individual could
not bring himself to jump down; he was eventually rescued by
firefighters and handed over to the police.
The attempted burglary, which took place in the morning on Damla
Street in the Gençosman neighborhood of Güngören, left local
Street in the Gençosman neighborhood of Güngören, left local
residents stunned.
The suspect had arrived at the five-story building—cleared for
urban renewal—but decided against entering after noticing a
security guard at the entrance. Seeking an alternative route, the
suspect grabbed onto the wall of a ground-floor commercial
space and maneuvered along some cables, attempting to reach an
apartment window.
Next time, he'll pick a nicer neighborhood.
However (!), he encountered an unforeseen complication and
became stuck at the window he had climbed toward. Unable to
enter the building or climb back down, he remained suspended
at a height of approximately three meters.
Local residents, noticing the individual trapped in the window,
promptly alerted the police, fire department, and medical services.
It was reported that the suspect, who remained stuck for about an
hour, also engaged in arguments with bystanders. (!)
Firefighters arrived at the scene and reached the suspect using a
ladder. He was safely brought down from the height of about
three meters, taken into custody by the police, and transported to
thepolice station.
Firefighters get an easy one this time...
Aysel Hamarat, an eyewitness to the incident, explained what
happened by noting that the suspect had attempted to enter the
building and subsequently became trapped in a window:
"The burglar broke the door lock and got inside. Upon realizing
there were people present, he left and tried to climb up from the
outside. He remained hanging there for an hour. Then the police,
the fire department, and an ambulance arrived. They brought him
down. He claimed he was there to 'steal cables or something'—
I’m not sure. The police took him away."
