Man shocked while stringing lights

A man stringing Christmas lights from a bucket truck in the town of Evendale, Ohio, received an electric shock earlier this week when an overhead power line, whipped up by strong winds, came close enough for the electricity to ark to the platform he was working from.

The man, who is employed by the town, screamed to those below to bring him down after there was a loud bang and a flash of light. The man was rushed to hospital where he was said to be in a stable condition.
