A hapless bloke had to be rescued by firefighters after falling from a rooftop down an extremely narrow gap between two walls.

Claustrophobia-inducing footage shows the topless man wedged between two brick walls that tower over him by several feet.

The gap is so slender that his head is stuck at a painful, 90-degree angle relative to his torso.

The clip shows how responding firefighters had to carefully knock a large hole in one of the two walls to reach him.

The fire brigade dispatched four vehicles to the scene after being called out on Tuesday (17 Dec) night.

The firefighters had to use tools including an electro-hydraulic combi-tool to reach the stricken man.

The man fell into the gap after losing his balance and he was conscious when help arrived in Manaus, Brazil.

Fire chief Orleilso Muniz told 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.”

After being freed from the tight space, the man was given first aid for his cuts and scrapes, as reported by Need To Know.
