A man has been rescued after spending two days trapped in a grease vent at a vacant Chinese restaurant in California, police say.
Emergency crews responded to reports of "a faint voice calling for help" from the building in the San Francisco area.
Police and fire crews arriving at the scene in San Lorenzo near Oakland at about 09:30 local time (17:30 GMT) heard a voice and discovered that it was coming from a rooftop vent belonging to the restaurant.
A ladder was then used to access the roof and locate the 29-year-old man, who was unable to move despite being covered with grease and oil, the Alameda County Sheriff's office said in a statement.
It took almost an hour to "extract" the man, who was then taken to a local hospital for treatment, the statement added.
