Picture from responders.

 

Kanchanaburi, August 19, a thief who broke into an old bank building to steal valuables found himself in a tight spot, literally, after attempting to flee from police and falling between two buildings.

 

At 10:00, local police in Kanchanaburi were alerted to suspicious activity at a former bank building. Upon arriving, officers discovered signs of a break-in and drug paraphernalia inside the premises. A shirtless suspect, believed to be around 40 years old, was also spotted.

 

In a desperate attempt to escape, the man ran to the rooftop of the building and made his way across the roofs of nearby homes. After covering about 100 metres, he lost his footing and fell into a narrow gap, approximately 50 centimetres wide, between an electronics store and a CCTV installation shop.

 

Rescue workers from the Pitakkan Rescue Foundation were called to the scene. After more than an hour, they managed to pull the exhausted suspect to safety using a rope. He was taken to the hospital with a sprained ankle and multiple scrapes before being detained for further investigation on charges of theft.

Just put a rope around his neck and pull him out?

Just leave him, and lower a bucket of food.

Between a rock and a hard place is normal... this was worse.
