In a surprising incident that unfolded in Sacramento, a man was seen jumping across rooftops for nearly an hour, all captured by a California Highway Patrol (CHP) helicopter. The unusual episode took place in the early hours of July 29, around 1:30 AM, when local police called in for CHP assistance.

According to the Sacramento Bee, the chaos began when a resident in the Vallarta Circle area reported an unfamiliar individual jumping into their backyard, prompting the homeowner to alert authorities. After a thorough search, local police were unable to locate the man, leading them to request help from the CHP helicopter. Once the helicopter arrived, its crew observed the astonishing sight of the man leaping from roof to roof, reminiscent of a parkour performance.

The man continued his rooftop escapade for nearly an hour before getting stuck in a tree, which led firefighters to intervene and rescue him. When confronted by police about his unusual behavior, he claimed he was fleeing from an unknown pursuer. However, neither the ground officers nor the helicopter footage showed anyone chasing him.

Video footage captured during the incident depicted the man hiding anxiously behind a chimney, glancing nervously around before darting across the roofs, all while a significant police presence was on the scene trying to track him down. Given the peculiar nature of his actions, authorities decided to take him to a hospital for a mental health evaluation. The CHP later released the footage and details of this unusual incident on August 2, shedding light on the bizarre circumstances surrounding this dramatic event.
