To dislodge the man, emergency response personnel worked from inside an adjacent building where they cut through three layers of brick wall.
Toronto EMS said that he was taken to hospital, and although experiencing soreness from having been immobilized for such a long period of time, he did not initially appear to be suffering from any serious injuries.
