Looks like everything wasn't all clear after all.

A video of a Boston police officer going down a children's slide in the middle of the city is going viral after the officer was visibly banged up as he rode down.

In the clip, the cop can be seen face-down on the slide while getting rocked side-to-side. His leg falls off the side, almost causing his entire body to be ejected.

In the video, he reaches the bottom feet-first and face-down as he slides to the ground, hitting his head with part of his equipment flying off his body. (You can also hear the clanking as he lands.)

The slide is the main attraction at the newly-renovated$95 million parkin City Hall Plaza in Boston. The incident caught Boston Mayor Michelle Wu off guard.

"I don't know what the circumstances were or what happened," Wu toldBoston 25 News. "But I will definitely check in and make sure the officer is ok. If it looks like that there needs to more signage that this is for children or something, we can do that too."

The Boston Police Department saidthe officersustained a head injury and used "his personal insurance for care." He was treated by Boston EMS and will not face disciplinary action.

It's still unclear why the officer chose to ride the slide in the first place, but perhaps some things are better left unknown.
