OXFORDSHIRE'S fire crews were called to help after a parachute jump went wrong.
Banbury Fire Station's picture shows a parachutist suspended in the air after their parachute appeared to get trapped in a telegraph pole.
The person was left hanging still attached to the harness as emergency services worked to free them after the jump on Saturday.
Specialist rescue teams from Kidlington and crews from Banbury Fire Station were called to assist with the incident which happened just over the Northamptonshire border near Hinton in the Hedges airfield.
The fire service and ambulance crews have not yet confirmed if the parachutist was hurt, or who called the emergency services.
