Firefighters yesterday rescued a man who apparently fell and was trapped for hours in a St James gully.
An alert resident heard the desperate cries of Germaine Alleyne, St James, coming from the deep waterway at Rock Dundo and called the authorities.
Alleyne, who had injuries to his right foot and lacerations to the face, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital by ambulance after fire officers, police and civilians pulled him to safety.
Cheryl Headley, who lives near to the gully, said she was at home when she heard the cry for help around 8 a.m. (RL)
