Emergency crews rescued a man who was stuck between two buildings in the
Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for about four hours
early on Tuesday morning.
The man fell at about 2am when he tried jumping from the roof of the
Bruegger's Bagels up to the roof of the Qdoba Mexican Grill. A police
spokeswoman said the man was with his girlfriend at the time of the
accident and was trying to impress her.
The man, who is a student at the University of Pittsburgh, fell three
stories into the space between the buildings, which is between 16 inches
and 18 inches.
Emergency crews cut through walls from inside the Qdoba to reach the man. At one point during the rescue, a rope was used to lower a paramedic between the buildings to check on the man, who was going numb. The man was wheeled out on a gurney at about 6am and was alert, even waving to TV news cameras. He was taken to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital with a possible broken leg.
