Dramatic footage has emerged of first responders rescuing a man who fell into a cave in Land's End off the coast of San Francisco, USA.

The video, captured on Friday, shows the rescue crew using a ladder to climb down into the cave to where the stricken man is located.

According to the filmer, the man's girlfriend and other friends could hear him calling for help, but were unable to locate him.

Rescue crews were then called, who managed to successfully bring the man out of the tight crevice.

Describing the rescue operation, the filmer wrote "at first they tried to rescue the man at the place where he fell from, but it proved to be too dangerous."

"I did see the rescued man after he was brought up. He was all bloody, and had a dislocated shoulder, and cried with pain, but managed to say he was sorry," she added.

There are some pictures, but dangerous rocks at Land's End in San Francisco, and some people ignore the danger and climb them. In this particular situation a man fell down. His girlfriend and friends were able to hear him screaming for help, but they were not able to even see him. Somebody called an emergency and the first responders arrived very soon. They were ready to take on the task. They had all needed equipment, including even surfboards. At first they tried to rescue the man at the place where he fell from, but it proved to be well too dangerous. They ended up rescuing him from the cave below the rocks. I did see the rescued man after he was brought up. He was all bloody, and had a dislocated shoulder, and cried with pain, but managed to say he was sorry. I did not film that because I did not feel as filming a person in distress.
