A construction worker was rescued Tuesday afternoon after falling nearly two stories down an elevator shaft in Philadelphia's Northern Liberties neighborhood, fire officials said.
The 15-20 foot fall took place inside an apartment complex under construction at 2nd and Widely streets around 12:30 p.m., officials said.
Firefighters were able to quickly remove him from the building's basement and take him to a waiting ambulance.
No word yet on his condition.
