Drunk German tourist rescued after getting trapped in narrow Austrian alley

A 20-year-old German tourist was rescued in Sölden, Austria, after becoming trapped in a narrow gap between two buildings early on Saturday. The man, who was intoxicated at the time, had climbed into the 30-centimetre-wide space before falling inside and getting stuck. The incident happened around 4:30 a.m. several kilometres from the tourist's accommodation. He was wearing only jeans and a T-shirt when he entered the tight crevice. The rescue operation was completed successfully, with the tourist receiving hospital care for his injuries. Authorities have not released further details about the circumstances leading up to the incident.
