Man spends all night on a window ledge after affair with married woman

A woman's lover found himself in a very unfortunate situation when he spent an entire night standing on her ledge seven storeys above ground level after her husband made an unexpected return home.

The married woman's lover had to be rescued by the fire services after the hapless man became wedged upon the narrow masonry between two air-conditioning units all night, during the weird incident which took place in China.

Naturally, as might be expected, the woman was unable to call the rescue authorities until her husband left for work the following day.

To save face, the man had initially claimed that he had no idea how he ended up on the ledge.

However, the pair were busted after the police eventually got the story from the woman.

It was then that she was forced to confess that she had bought the man home with her for an adulterous tryst but had not counted on her husband making an unexpected return home from a business trip.

Commenting on the bizarre turn of events, a local fire brigade spokesman said: "Fortunately he had already dressed himself and was about to leave when the woman's husband came home, and she had managed to persuade him to scramble out the window."

The man indeed had a close brush with what could have turned out to be a potentially fatal injury as it is reported that he only just managed to scramble out of the window in time when the woman's husband entered into the bedroom.

Unsurprisingly, alcohol played a significant role in the affair (no pun intended) as the man would most likely have been stuck on the ledge indefinitely had the authorities not been able to intervene.

Indeed, a spokesman for the fire service added: "He had apparently been drinking a fair amount, and that probably gave him the courage to jump onto the ledge, but by the morning he realised it would be extremely foolish to attempt to climb back [into the flat]."
