A horny couple was caught appearing to romp on a Ferris wheel ride in front of thousands of shocked festival-goers at Download Festival in Leicestershire on Saturday night.
Incident Details
The pair were spotted on the ride as revellers were waiting for Guns 'n' Roses to take to the stage. Footage of their seemingly x-rated antics was posted on social media. At one point, the woman was seen on her knees, while in a second clip, she appeared to be gyrating her hips back and forth while the man stood behind her.
Witness Accounts
One witness stated: "Originally for the first rotation of the wheel, people thought he was just standing behind her with his arms around her, looking at the view. But, as it got lower, somebody shouted 'I can see her pants pulled aside!'"
The witness, a regular attendee, added: "They were literally in a glass pod above everyone's heads at the busiest point of the night, just before Guns 'n Roses were due on. It sort of brought everyone together in a weird way. Before they were spotted, the atmosphere was nervous apprehension because they're always late on. As soon as the cameras came out and word started getting around about what happened, the atmosphere completely changed – they made the night."
They added: "All I can think is they thought the glass was tinted, but it wasn't at all, it was actually spotless, you could see everything. I just hope they cleaned the cabin after they got out of it."
Police Investigation
Leicestershire Police announced they are now hunting the exhibitionists, who remain at large. A police spokesperson said: "Officers are aware of a video on social media concerning two people acting inappropriately while on a Ferris wheel at Download this weekend. The incident is currently being investigated and officers are in contact with the organisers of the festival. Enquiries in relation to this are ongoing and police are working to identify the people involved."
