A man who was attempting to urinate off of the Highway 77 bridge in Bloomington, Minn. was hurt after falling off the edge.
Police got a call just before 5 a.m. Sunday from a 21-year-old man who said his friend fell off the Highway 77 bridge and into a marshy area about 30 feet below.
The caller said he was driving north when his 23-year-old friend, who he said had been drinking, told him to pull into the bridge's emergency lane so he could urinate.
The man looked at his friend and pretended to fall off the bridge before actually falling off for real, landing about 30 feet below in a grassy area.
The Eagan Fire Department retrieved the man using a chair lift. He was then taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he is currently in stable condition with serious injuries.
Police did not provide the man's identity.
