Mystery: Wet suit clad man rescued from Rotterdam pole overnight

The police fished a wet suit wearing Rotterdam man out of the waters in the Waalhaven around 3:00 a.m. on Friday morning. The police have no idea what on earth the man was doing there, in a diving suit, in the middle of the night. So they took him into custody. According to newspaper AD, he was still in custody on Friday morning. A spokesperson for the police told the newspaper that they are talking to him to try and find out what he was doing.
