A photo of a man who had climbed on top of a news van is circulating online after the Kansas City Streetcar and Kansas City Police Department tweeted about it.
The man, who remains unidentified, caused a short delay for a streetcar Friday morning. The news van was parked near the Union Station stop.
“No shirt. No shoes. No pants. No service,” the streetcar’s official Twitter account tweeted.
KCPD’s official account tweeted:
A request we never thought we'd need to issue: Please don't climb on news vans in your boxer shorts. Thank you. https://t.co/1gFQfpblsP

Multiple people responded to the tweets, some joking about the incident.
A solid LOL elicited on that one.

I know a lot of people want to be on the news, but this is just wrong.

That's one way to try and beat the heat, but not recommended.

Others showed compassion for the man, tweeting they hoped he received any help he may have needed.
Let's hope he gets some.

Sounds like he has some mental illness, let's not make fun of him.
