Man on trolleybus cables in the Netherlands withstands water spray, taser and rubber bullets: he was only overpowered after 3 hours

The Dutch emergency services have been busy for hours on the Stationsplein in Arnhem this evening. There a man had climbed a mast from which electricity cables of trolleybuses hang. The man balanced a little later on the cables themselves, which hang high above the square. He stubbornly kept pacing back and forth on the pipes and had no intention of coming down. The situation ended up lasting more than 3 hours. It is unclear why the man started his action.
