PHOTO: Raccoon Atop Lamp Post in Queens

A raccoon has been rescued after climbing to the top of a light post in Queens and clinging there for hours.  

The masked marauder apparently climbed to the top of a pole at Woodhaven Boulevard and 95th Street in Ozone Park, next to an overpass.

The FDNY says it got the call at about 3:15 p.m. and the raccoon was rescued a short time after authorities responded.
