Police said a man jumped from roof to roof to evade them after he reportedly set at least one church cross on fire. He’s now in custody. The man, dressed in only shorts and no shoes, made the harrowing jump from the roof of a church to another nearby roof. He then continued jumping to several different rooftops.

Officers from the Los Angeles Police department responded to the scene via air and ground. As officers approached, at one point, the man straddled what appeared to be a utility line and used it to pull himself to the lip of another rooftop.

He continued to scale the side of another building, dangerously using wires to reach the top of yet another structure. A witness said the man was throwing his clothes off the top of of the church roof and attempting to push the cross over, but when he couldn’t, he tried to light the cross on fire.

No mention of what part of town or the name of the church? Pretty skimpy reporting.

An overfed, long-haired leaping gnome?

Boyle Heights, and it was a Catholic church.

He was detained after entering a nearby apartment causing the residents to flee.

Demonic.

I watched my local news last night...I think that the guy has some mental problems...Maybe a judge could put him in a mental hospital because of what he did last night...

Boyle Heights...A part of City of Los Angeles...My guess is that about 90% of people living in Boyle Heights are Hispanic...
