A man had to be dramatically rescued by firefighters after tumbling from a rooftop into a shockingly tight gap between two towering brick walls, leaving him painfully wedged in place.
Video footage from the incident reveals the distressing scene, showing the man, shirtless and stuck so tightly that his head was bent at a sharp 90-degree angle relative to his body.
The claustrophobic space was so narrow that even reaching him required significant effort and ingenuity.

Firefighters responding to the emergency meticulously broke through one of the walls to access the trapped man.
The delicate operation involved four fire brigade vehicles and specialized tools, including an electro-hydraulic combi-tool, which was essential for the challenging extraction.
The accident occurred on Tuesday night, December 17, in Manaus, Brazil.
The man, who reportedly lost his balance and fell into the crevice, remained conscious as rescue efforts unfolded.
Fire Chief Orleilso Muniz explained the difficulty of the situation, telling local media, “The man was trapped in a very narrow space, which required great care from our team. The wall was carefully opened to ensure the safety of both the man being rescued and the team involved.”
Once freed, the man was treated for minor injuries, including cuts and scrapes, by first responders.
Despite the ordeal, he appeared stable following the rescue, as reported by vknews24.
