Window Washer Creates Scare in Downtown Richmond


Did you see a man hanging from a red rope on the side of the Suntrust building downtown Wednesday afternoon? It was a window washer that appeared to be stranded and in need of rescue.

It happened sometime between 4:30 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. on 9th and Main Streets and prompted a call to the Richmond Fire Department for rescue.

Lt. Shawn Jones, a spokesman for the fire department, says a ladder truck was dispatched to the scene but when they spoke to the window washer, he refused rescue.

Jones says it was windy downtown and the man may have gotten tangled in the rope but then freed himself.
