A 39-year-old naked man was rescued on Friday after he spent nearly two days being trapped inside the walls of a theatre in Syracuse, New York.
Firefighters were called around 07:30 local time (11:30 GMT) after a person was heard banging on the wall and pleading for help. According to local media, rescuers cut through the theatre's walls and found him trapped there naked.
In a statement on Facebook, the Syracuse fire department said that firefighters "drilled a hole in the wall and utilised a fibre-optic camera" to determine the exact location of the trapped person.

"They then cut through drywall and tile to free the man, who was believed to have entered the theatre two or three days prior," officials were quoted by?Syracuse.com?as saying.
Speaking to the local news outlet, Landmark Theatre director Mike Intaglietta said that the man was seen wandering around the Landmark Theatre earlier in the week.
"Employees who saw him lost track of his location and assumed he had left," said Mike Intaglietta. I don't know if he was entering to keep warm or to use the bathroom. I don't know," he added.??
People had a lot of hilarious comments about this incident.
Fire officials said that the man hid in a crawlspace for two days and was left trapped after he fell inside the wall of the theatre's male bathroom. The man appeared to be suffering from a mental illness and is currently being treated at a local hospital.
Meanwhile, no charges were filed against the man as of Friday afternoon.??
