From the purported video, it could be seen the man hanging on the safety net of the building with some posters in his hand. Later, in the video, it is discovered that 2 members of the police also landed on the installed nets to rescue him.

It is also seen that at the beginning, the man was not ready to go with the police. But, both police members coercively dragged the man to a safe place.
