A joint effort by the Police and Fire Service rescued the man and was handcuffed and whisked away.

The man who spoke before taken to the Police station said "I am the one that handles pressure in the country. Listen to me very well, if you heard about Dr Think twice, I’m the one… I've appeared on TV station several times last four years when I went to Kejetia and hanged myself. I was asked why and I told them it’s all because of pressure and I hanged myself where I blocked traffic and the police came to arrest me and people asking me won’t I marry, give birth or my penis isn't functioning…"

"Is it pressure or not?" he asked the general public.
