Man falls into the chimney flue
A bleeding man was found stuck in the chimney flue on the ground floor in a residential building in Huaibei, Anhui province on Monday, reported Anhui Fire Brigade on Monday.
Continuous knocking sounds came from the chimney flue when the resident on the ground floor was cooking. The resident soon reported it to the police and concluded that there might be a person in the wall.
The rescue team arrived and started breaking the flue with the resident's consent. A man was found stuck in it with multiple bone fractures and bruises.
He lives on 18th floor but the reason why he fell into a chimney while half-naked is unknown.
