ENGLEWOOD, Colo.—A 28-year-old man was rescued dusty but alive after he was trapped nearly 15 hours in an air conditioning vent.
Englewood police said they responded to calls for help Tuesday from the roof of the Charles Hay World School, where they discovered a man trapped 30 feet down the vent.
Firefighters had to cut open the vent to pull the man out. The man, who was not identified, told police he stole a friend’s purse Monday night and threw it onto the roof. When he climbed onto the roof to get the purse, he fell into the vent and became stuck, according to the Denver Post.
