A man was spotted trying to jump over the gate to get into Miles Elementary School in Tucson, Arizona, and in a bid to get away quickly, he caught his trousers on the top of the railings and was left hanging from the fence, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reports.

Jesse Sensibar photographed the whole thing, uploading it to Facebook, where he later shared: ''One more reason not to jump fences in baggy pants. I saw this homie hanging around at the Miles School this morning when I was rolling eastbound on Broadway Avenue. I was going to help him off the fence but by the time I got back around the block the cops were rolling up two cars deep.

''I don't know what his story was but it must not have been good enough, fifteen minutes later when I went back by the other direction going home he was cuffed up in the backseat. He smiled for the camera.''
