Traffic on a busy downtown street was reduced to a single lane for about an hour during the rescue, police said.
A fire department ladder truck was summoned to the scene and authorities attempted to capture the raccoon in a net. The animal jumped out of the net and ended up falling to the ground, where it was safety captured.
Animal Control said the raccoon serious injury from the fall and later was released "into a much safer habitat."
