In a scary incident in New York, firefighters had to rescue a man after his right leg got trapped in a tiny sinkhole. The incident took place in Brooklyn at around 11 am on Tuesday morning, according to DNA Info. A video posted to Twitter by NYC Scanner, an unofficial Twitter account that covers NYC emergency services, shows firemen working to lift the man who was stuck thigh-deep in the tiny sinkhole.
According to DNA Info, a coworker of the man said that the accident occurred when a part of the road underneath his right foot collapsed and trapped him.
