New York: In a scary incident in New York, firefighters had to rescue a man after his right leg got trapped in a tiny sinkhole.

The incident took place in Brooklyn at around 11 am on Tuesday morning, according to DNA Info.

A video posted to Twitter by NYC Scanner, an unofficial Twitter account that covers NYC emergency services, shows firemen working to lift the man who was stuck thigh-deep in the tiny sinkhole.

According to DNA Info, a co-worker of the man said that the accident occurred when a part of the road underneath his right foot collapsed and trapped him.
‘From what I understand he was walking and the ground gave way. I ran over there and he was stuck in the ground, and the fire department was just arriving when I got there,’ said Joe Grunbaum of Kings County Autobody, Inc.

The man was later taken to the hospital.
