A man in Colorado was reportedly extracted by police officials and firefighters after they received reports about someone trapped between two walls of the store for almost four days.

The rescue crew took 35-year-old Paul Felyk out of the wall. The rescuers reportedly had to slice through the department store to free the trapped man. According to The Longmont Times-Call, it took the rescue crew around 30 minutes to complete the operation on Tuesday morning.

The man was found at a vacant space between the interior and exterior walls of a store located in the area. The crew opened a hole in the exterior wall and Felyk crawled out immediately. He was then rushed to the Longmont United Hospital and is said to have spent the whole day there since he suffered from injuries in his lower extremities.

The store was identified as "Marshalls". The employees told officials that they heard a man yelling on Monday morning, but could not pinpoint where he was. The employees added they were able to figure it out as they heard the screams from a hole in the back wall of the store.

Police officials disclosed that Felyk entered the building through the roof before falling 20 feet high. However, no updates yet as to how long he was really stuck in between the walls had been released.

Investigators added that Felyk pushed some notes towards them as he wanted to describe where he really was. One of the dates on the notes was Nov. 8.

Felyk is suspected to be a transient in the area as police records show that he had a couple of run-ins with the law involving charges such as assault, criminal mischief, driving while ability impaired, robbery, theft, and trespassing. Felyk might be in the area for attempted burglary or trespassing, but charges are still pending.
