PARK RIDGE, N.J. - December 28, 2011

Authorities say the adult predator was found Tuesday afternoon hanging upside down high in a tree outside Park Ridge High School.

The bird's leg was tangled in rope, according to The Record.

An animal control officer climbed a fire truck's ladder and cut through branches to reach the bird.

The falcon was taken in for evaluation.
