Santa Monica, CA - On Wednesday, July 4, 2023, at 9:25 am, Santa Monica Police Officers and Santa Monica Firefighters responded to a distress call regarding a man in distress at the Palisades Bluffs. Witnesses reported that the man had climbed over the fence at the 900 block of Palisades Park and was standing on the edge of the Palisades Bluffs. In a precautionary measure, the Santa Monica Police closed the California Incline for several hours, while a significant portion of Palisades Park was cordoned off by the city's police and fire departments.

Concurrently, firefighters and members of the Police SWAT team equipped themselves with harnesses and ropes, preparing for a potential rescue.
