Emergency crews had to rescue a man who got wedged between two buildings after he attempted to jump from one rooftop to the other in order to impress a woman.

Police reported that the man had met up with a woman and took her up to the roof to show off his daring stunt around 2 a.m. Except the stunt went wrong and the man ended up stuck between the two buildings.

"He is not quite on the ground. But, he is wedged between these two buildings pretty well," Pittsburgh Public Safety Officer Sonya Toler told CBS Pittsburgh at the time of the incident.

It took emergency workers more than three hours to free the man from the tight spot he'd wound up in. Rescuers had to cut a hole in the wall to get the man out.

"We had people on the roof. One of the paramedics did rappel down three stories to render assistance and also provide us some landmarks as to where he was. Once the paramedic was there we reassessed where he was and cut the second hole," Pittsburgh Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich said.

The unidentified man was taken by ambulance to be treated for an ankle injury.
