‘Glide’ man: I am not rude

A MAN claiming to be the paraglider accused of flying low and abusing people over a sedate seafront has dismissed the complaints as “lies”.

Police sought witnesses after reports he had been hostile towards the public in Bexhill, East Sussex.

But a caller identifying himself as “Paul” told LBC Radio host James O’Brien: “I’m a free-flying spirit and I live to fly and fly to live.”

Asked if he was intimidating people, he laughed: “No. I’m just there to fly.”
