It’s hard to imagine what goes through the mind of someone who’s in a risky situation. <\/span>Case in point, a young lady in the story that we\u2019re about to tell who was found precariously perched atop a 100-meter-tall electric pole<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nobody, even the police, have figured out what she had intended to do, had she not been rescued in time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Here’s what happened on the early morning of 5th May in Thu Duc, Ho Chi Minh City.<\/span><\/p>\n

On 5th May, footage showing a woman in her 20s sitting atop an electric pole surfaced on TikTok page vnnn.official<\/a>, quickly garnering tremendous attention.<\/p>\n

According to a source familiar with the story, she climbed a 100-meter-tall electric pole in Thu Duc, Ho Chi Minh City around 6.30AM on 5th May all by herself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fearing for her safety, residents at the scene tried to persuade her to come down. She refused to heed their calls, so people contacted local police officers.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Thu Duc police officers arrived at the scene and communicated with her, the girl showed signs of delirium from possible drug use, <\/span>Dan Tri<\/span><\/a><\/em> reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the police officers tried to coax her into climbing off, they prepared a safety net just in case she jumped.<\/span><\/p>\n

Around 10AM, she began to climb down the pole on her own.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the successful rescue, police officers took her to the police station of Linh Trung to take her statement. However, she was in a state of shock and couldn\u2019t say anything.<\/span><\/p>\n

To proceed with the investigation, police officers have sought help from local psychiatric professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n

As police officers are still investigating the case, there\u2019s no conclusion yet about the young lady\u2019s motives. Whatever her reason for climbing to such a height, we should refrain from passing judgment until the case is fully investigated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, let\u2019s be grateful for our police officers, who averted a life-threatening accident with their patience and professionalism.<\/span><\/p>\n
