<--- I don't think Santa left him there.
German firemen rescued a mysteriously naked man trapped in a narrow chimney in central Berlin, a spokesman said on Thursday.
The fire brigade was alerted to the emergency after
police failed to help the 39-year old man who was wedged 10 meters
(yards) down the shoulder-width chimney.
"The rescue workers, specialized in saving people at
great heights, tried to pull the victim out from above with a crane and a
sling," a fire brigade spokesman said.
"At first he held on to the rope but then his strength failed him so we had to come up with an alternative."
The team of about 30 firemen and 10 police officers
bored a hole in the second floor of the building and managed to pull out
the victim but not before he had lost consciousness. He needed 15
minutes of resuscitation and is still in hospital.
"He suffered from injuries in the fall and due to his
scant clothing - namely his nakedness - he became very cold," the
spokesman said.
