The joker, who placed the plastic cone over his head while playing with friends, was unable to free himself and was stuck in the bollard for more than two hours.

Eventually, a police officer arrived at the scene and, with the help of the man's friend, they managed to free him from the cone.

The relieved man could not hide his delight, saying 'thank you so much' to the police officer.

Roofer John Waterman captured the moment on his mobile phone yesterday.

Mr Waterman, 28, said: 'It was very random, it’s not the usual thing you see in the middle of Hemel Hempstead on a Sunday lunchtime.

'I came out of Burger King and this man had the bollard stuck on his head.

'I had seen him walking with it on top of his head five minutes earlier, but now it was pulled right down.

'No-one was helping him because they thought he was just messing around.'

After arriving at the scene, the policeman could be seen smiling at the bizarre sight.

Along with the man's friend, he tried to pull the bollard off his head. But when this didn't work they decided to lay him down on the grass.

Shoppers could be heard laughing as the police officer pulled the man's legs in an attempt to free him from the bollard.

Eventually, the man wriggled clear and could be heard thanking the police officer.

Mr Waterman said: 'He didn’t seem to be getting too distressed but when he is finally pulled out he is very red in the face.

'It took his friend and a policeman to get him out. It needed a good heave and his back was badly scratched afterwards.

'The police officer find it very amusing and was chuckling to himself, it was probably one of his more light-hearted call outs!'
