SEATTLE, May 3 (UPI) -- A woman who went to use a Seattle Central Community College restroom says a man beat her to it -- by falling in through the ceiling.

Joy Estill said around 11 a.m. Wednesday, a man smashed through the ceiling of the restroom.

"My initial reaction was 'Do you need help?' -- I thought he was a worker," Estill told KOMO-TV, Seattle. "But then I realized he was not dressed like a worker doing labor; he was dressed like a regular person coming off the street."

Estill and other students held the man until security arrived and handcuffed him. He allegedly had a disposable camera in his hand, which led Estill to believe he was taking pictures, but police said he was hiding from officers after earlier trying to break into a locked bathroom in a fast food restaurant using a pocketknife. Police said he fled from officers at the college and climbed into the bathroom ceiling to hide, the report said.
