A worker who became entangled in netting whilst dangling off a building in Bellavista, Peru, was rescued by his colleagues.

The filmer said: "Around 11 am in the room that faces the window towards the construction of the building. Everything was quiet until suddenly I heard a loud sound like things were falling and I looked out the window and found the man hanging from his harness.

"At that moment, he was shouting for help because there were no workers with him. Approximately two minutes later, two boys who did not know what to do appeared. They spent about two more minutes and three more colleagues arrived.

"Venezuelans began to offer ideas along with the other two companions who arrived. That is where they threw a blue rope at him so that he could hold his left foot, but he decided to attach it to the rope that held the wooden board and that is where they all pulled them up.

"Fortunately, the man was small and they were able to carry him up."
