A 21-year-old student was rescued Tuesday afternoon after falling into an open manhole and drainage system along Magnolia Street in San Luis Village, Baguio City while attempting to retrieve a house key he had accidentally left inside his room.
According to police, the student climbed the back of his house and successfully recovered the key but slipped while descending a ladder, causing him to fall into the manhole. The victim was unable to climb out and sustained contusions and a suspected fracture to his right ankle.
Personnel from the Bureau of Fire Protection-Baguio and officers from the Baguio City Police Office Station 1 responded to the incident at around 4:25 p.m. after a neighbor heard the student's calls for help and alerted authorities. The victim was rescued and taken to a nearby hospital for further treatment.
