The popular Knott’s Berry Farm amusement park in Southern California drew a police response Saturday night after a person apparently climbed a metal tower near the park’s Supreme Scream ride, consistent with reports. The man eventually decreased safely, police in Buena Park tweeted shortly after 9 p.m. civil time.
Earlier, images posted by FOX 11 of l. a. showed the climber slightly below an outsized American flag at the highest of the tower. Police previously tweeted around 8 p.m. civil time, confirming the incident. “Please stay out of the world while we work to bring this person down, safely,” the police post read.
There was no immediate information about the climber’s identity or how he managed to climb the metal tower, FOX 11 reported. Whether the climber would face charges in reference to the incident wasn’t immediately clear. Last weekend, the surface of the amusement park was the scene of a shooting that left an adolescent wounded. Knott’s Berry Farm started as a roadside berry substitute in the 1920s and has since grown into a topic park that has rides, stage shows, and other entertainment. Its Buena Park location is about 20 miles southeast of downtown l. a. . placeholder The park reopened in May after a shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
