LITHONIA, Ga. (CBS46/Gray News) – Employees at a shopping center in Georgia heard a man yelling for help as they showed up for work Tuesday morning.
“I definitely did not expect this,” Staff Sgt. Brittany Davis, a recruiter for the U.S. Army told WGCL.
She and a co-worker heard the screams as they opened the recruiting office for the day.
“We actually stepped back to see if maybe someone was on top of the roof,” Davis said, explaining the man was stuck in an oven vent overhead.
A worker at the Little Caesar’s Pizza next door heard the same screams coming from the vent more clearly.
“He was actually saying that he can’t breathe, that he’s having a panic attack,” Davis said. “Of course, I was just concerned for him.”
She called 911 and emergency workers jumped into action.
“Kind of unconventional, something we don’t deal with every day,” Captain Jaeson Daniels said.
As fire and rescue crews cut away part of the vent, they could see how narrow the space was where the man was trapped.
“I’m glad that our guys, in particular our heavy rescue unit, carries a lot of different tools and we were able to use a lot of them today to get him out safely,” Daniels said.
When rescuers finally freed the man, police officers put him in handcuffs and escorted him to an awaiting ambulance.

If the man were doing something that involved "celebrating Christmas in July", I could maybe say he had a (pitiful) reason for attempting to enter the pizzeria through a vent. Since nothing was presented, I'll just have to label him as a misguided common criminal .
