A 20-year-old German tourist was rescued after becoming trapped in a narrow gap between two buildings in Sölden, Austria.

He was wearing only jeans and a T-shirt when the accident occurred around 4:30 a.m. The rescue operation successfully freed the man from the tight space. He received medical care for his injuries and exposure to the cold. Authorities have not released further details about his condition.
