A man was rescued Friday morning from inside a wall in the Landmark Theatre after being stuck there for days.
He had been seen wandering around the theater earlier in the week, said Mike Intaglietta, executive director of the theatre. Employees who had seen the man lost track of him and thought he had left the building, he said.
“I don’t know if he was entering to keep warm or to use the bathroom. I don’t know,” Intaglietta said.
Instead of leaving, the man got into a crawl space in the building, Kane said. He was in the hiding spot for two days before he fell into a space in the wall of the men’s bathroom and became trapped, Kane said.
Firefighters with Rescue Company 1 drilled a hole in the wall and used a fiber-optic camera to determine the man’s exact location, Kane said. They next carefully cut through several layers of drywall and structural clay tile to free the man, he said.
