Man refuses assistance after falling into drain
KOTA KINABALU:
A young man who fell into a 10-meter high drain at Taman Foh Sang here yesterday, caused a commotion when he refused to be rescued by a team from the Fire and Rescue Services Department. It was said that the man, who sells pirated discs in the area, had accidentally fallen into the drain after consuming alcoholic drinks at a nearby shop around 3pm. When the public saw what had happened, they immediately contacted the police and Fire and Rescue Services Department. He climbed into a narrow hole when the firemen came to his rescue. The firemen opened the cover and dragged him out of the hiding place. The police detained him after he had climbed out of the drain with a ladder.
