A 29-year-old Regina man faces a prank for a $ 5,000 charge after police say he went upstairs to a downtown building “to create social media content.”
Police were called to the building in the 1800 block of Scarth Street around 2:30 p.m. Thursday to assist the man. The security building reported that he was on the sidewalk, sitting with his legs over the edge.

Police were unable to safely return the man to the ground, resulting in the closure of 11th Avenue traffic at Scarth Street and the diversion of bus routes so that the Regina Fire Department could bring in a truck ladder.
The man was secured to a basket that was safely lowered to the ground around 3:45 p.m. He was treated at the scene by EMS.
