QUINCY, MASS. (WHDH) - Quincy Police tweeted out a funny photo Thursday about how not every tip from the public ends up working out.

According to the department’s Twitter page, a person reported to a police officer that a person was down at the corner of Beale Street and Newport Ave.

A nearby officer on a detail ran to the scene in an attempt to help the person, only to find the “man down” was actually an inflatable Batman decoration that was missing some air.

The office jokingly commented, “#thejokerdidit.”
