This is the moment a man was arrested after he got stuck down a chimney while trying to run from police along a rooftop.

Robert Langlais, 33, took inspiration from Santa Claus’s and attempted to hide inside the shaft in Fall River, Massachusetts, on December 10. 

But he quickly became stuck and had to be rescued by the very officers he was fleeing from with the incident captured on police body camera footage. 

Police said Langlais and another man escaped from a property they were carrying out a search warrant on and the pair ran along the rooftop.  

‘One male eluded capture by bounding from the roof and onto a parked vehicle,’ City of Fall River Police Department said in a post on Facebook.

‘The other male, later identified as Robert Langlais (age 33), invoked the essence of the seasonal icon and attempted to hide inside of a chimney.

‘Langlais quickly became stuck in the chimney and required the assistance of the very detectives he was previously fleeing from.’

The 33-year-old was rescued with the help of Fall River Fire Department and Fall River Emergency Medical Services and taken into custody. 

‘Due to his Santa-antics, Langlais was transported to a local hospital out of precaution and was medically cleared,’ Fall River Police Department added. 

Langlais has now been charged with possession of class A drugs, possession of class B drugs and a ‘slew of charges from outstanding warrants,’ authorities said.

‘Also present and arrested, with less theatrics, was Tanisha Ibay (age 32) for the charges of Possession of Class A drugs and Possession of Class B drugs,’
