LOS ANGELES – A man wearing only shorts tied up a freeway in California Wednesday as he posed as though he were an action hero and displayed anti-pollution posters.

Los Angeles authorities eventually took the man into custody, but not before he did a back flip onto an inflatable device as spectators along the freeway and in their cars watched.
Here are some of the social media posts about the bizarre incident:

Only one lane of the 110S is open right now and the LAFD has brought a ladder closer and a pad for Dephree to land on if he falls. Also Dephree LOVES to vape. pic.twitter.com/BrfqU8Dfkc

Dephree is in a bit of a sticky situation. He has been pinned in a corner by several ladders. So if he tries to come back across the exit sign he’ll be nabbed by CHP or LAFD pic.twitter.com/w4NWQS7udN
