LOS ANGELES, CA. -- A nude man spent several hours at the top of a 220-foot radio tower in Los Angeles Wednesday before police were able to convince him to climb down using McDonald's hamburgers, according to the The Los Angeles Times.

The guy took off his clothes as he scaled the structure around 4 p.m.

Police say the man is in his 30s or 40s and may be a resident of Arizona.

He was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
