This is the moment a young woman who fell from an attic down the gap between houses and ended up screaming for help for three days wall is rescued.

The 22-year-old fell between a narrow gap between the walls of the building and was stuck near the basement wall in Sochi, Russia.

She ended up trapped there in the dark and damp space which the authorities described as a 'dungeon'.

She told her rescuers she had called for help for three days before someone finally heard her and she was rescued on February 19.

The footage shows the rescuers making a hole in the basement wall with a pneumatic drill and reaching the distressed young woman.

Rescuers help the girl out of her spot after reaching her as the footage ends.

The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry said: 'A 22-year-old girl spent three days in a dungeon. It all happened in a four-storey building in Sochi.

'A resident heard a woman cry for help behind the wall and went down to the basement of the house. As it turned out, the victim fell from the attic and ended up between two walls in the house.

'To get to her, employees of the Southern Regional Search and Rescue Team of the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry had to dismantle part of the brickwork. Rescuers handed the girl over to doctors.'
