Police chased a New Year's reveller through an underpass after spotting him bouncing along a dual carriageway in Scotland.
The man was apprehended by officers keeping an eye on Hogmanay celebrations in Dundee at about 3am on January 1, according to the BBC.
An eye witness who saw the man bouncing through the city's Marketgait underpass, which has no pedestrian footpath, said he looked "very drunk" as police officers gave chase.
Scottish police have confirmed that the man was spoken about his madcap behaviour, but no formal action was taken.
Witness Jamie Shankland, speaking to BBC Scotland's Newsdrive programme, said he had stopped his car due to the commotion, with a police car blocking the road.
He said: "It was like a scene from the movie The Hangover. As I pulled out past the police car I noticed there was a big red balloon on the road.
"It wasn't until I passed and saw the two horns on top of it that I noticed it was a space hopper.
"I can only assume that the gentleman was space hoppering for some time because there is no path there."
Mr Shankland said he saw the man being questioned by police.
He told BBC Scotland: "You could tell from the sheepish look on his face that he knew he was doing something wrong.
"He looked very drunk to be honest.
"He was coming towards the oncoming cars, he wasn't bouncing away from them, so it could have been a worse story to tell."
