A man who slipped on the side of a San Diego cliff and became trapped under broken concrete has been freed following a "treacherous" hourslong rescue.
San Diego Fire-Rescue said it responded to the Sunset Cliffs area around 3:40 p.m. local time Thursday to a report of a person trapped in a hole along the cliffside.
The man was uninjured but trapped from the waist down in a crevasse along the cliff, San Diego Fire-Rescue said. The hole was about 18 inches in diameter, "which has caused extreme difficulty in getting him out," rescuers said.
"The location of this rescue is very treacherous for rescuers as well as the patient," San Diego Fire-Rescue said.
