Man gets wedged between two buildings while trying to impress date

A man who was trying to impress a woman while on a date became wedged between two buildings after slipping while attempting to leap from one rooftop to another.

Emergency crews in Pittsburgh were called around 2am local time on Tuesday after 22-year-old Grant Birdsong was left trapped in a 40cm space between two restaurants.

“The young man met a girl, brought her up to a rooftop and decided to impress her by leaping from one roof to the next,” Pittsburgh public safety spokeswoman Sonya Toler told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

In a four-hour rescue effort, emergency crews cut a hole through the wall of the restaurant in order to reach the stranded student

Mr Birdsong was eventually pulled through the wall by emergency crews, giving a thumbs up to reporters as he was wheeled out on a stretcher.

Paramedics transported him hospital with an ankle injury, the newspaper reported.

It’s not known whether he managed to impress his date.
