A woman was rescued after becoming trapped in a narrow gap between two walls while attempting to take a shortcut.

A woman was rescued after becoming trapped in a narrow gap between two walls while attempting to take a shortcut.

She tried to pass through a tight space between buildings in order to save time, believing the route would shorten her journey. However, the passage was not a proper way through.

While moving through the narrow gap, she became firmly wedged and was unable to move forward or backward.

Emergency responders arrived at the scene after being alerted and quickly began rescue operations.

Fire service teams worked to carefully extract her from the confined space, successfully freeing her from between the walls.

After the rescue, authorities reminded the public not to attempt to cross narrow or dangerous areas such as wall gaps or tight alleys, warning that such shortcuts can result in people becoming trapped or injured.
