A resident got stuck on the gate after he attempted to climb it over to enter a community in China.

The video, shot in Shanghai on February 24, shows an old man climbing onto a gate of his residential community and then getting stuck on the top of it.

Another clip shows the firefighters approaching the man via a ladder and helping him get down from the gate.

According to reports, residents needed to show their pass to enter the community during the COVID-19 outbreak.

However, the man's daughter took the pass away and he did not have one. So he attempted to climb over the gate to enter the community but did not have enough energy to climb down and got stuck there.

疫情期间，为了加强人员管理，不少小区都需要凭借出入证才能进出。2月24日中午，上海金山朱泾镇的一名老人，因为没有携带出入证，无法进入小区，居然做出了翻铁栏门进入小区的举动，结果是“骑栏难下”。
24日中午12点左右，这名老人出现在朱泾镇南圩新村小区的侧门处，四下张望之后，便起脚开始攀爬铁门，十来分钟之后，就坐到了铁门顶上，但是20分钟左右过去，老人却依旧坐在上面，没有下来，路过市民见情况不对，便立即报了警。
金山区消防救援支队金山消防救援站指战员到场后，发现老人脸色比较白，人也在发抖，而且说话声音很紧张，随即一边安抚老人情绪，一边架梯展开救援。由一名队员对老人进行保护，还有一名队员对梯子进行固定，很快将老人救了下来。
据了解，老人是该小区的居民，疫情期间，小区封闭了其他小门，只留一扇大门进出，所有居民都凭出入证进出，但是该户的出入证被老人的女儿拿走了，情急之下，老人就想到了翻墙进入小区的办法，谁知道“骑栏难下”，爬上铁门后，因体力不支，老人无法再爬下来，只能求助路人帮忙报警求援，好在民警和消防人员及时赶到，才没有发生意外。
