Police also stated that the man continued to yell at officers from on top of the wheel.

However, due to the screams and loud noise in the area, authorities were unable to make out everything he was saying. Santa Monica Fire Department officials reportedly used cherry pickers to rescue those who were still stuck on the Ferris wheel.

Police also shut down the Santa Monica Pier to the public.
