A man in China reportedly got himself trapped inside a hollow utility pole after getting drunk.

The man, unidentified, crawled into the 65-foot-long electricity pole which was lying at roadside in Qingyang city, Gansu Province, on Saturday, reported People's Daily Online.

Firefighters managed to pull out the man after they cut off part of the steel post and tied a rope on his body.

The tapered pole measured 2ft 7in wide at one end and 1ft 11in wide at the other

The hollow pole measured 2ft 7in wide at one end and 1ft 11in wide at the other. It was left by the side of the road and was waiting to be erected.

The man, allegedly drunk, climbed in from the wider end. But as the pole got narrower, he got stuck as he moved towards the narrower end.

It is unclear how long he had stayed inside the tube when the firefighters arrived. However, reports claimed that he had shown signs of suffocation.

According to witnesses, firefighters first supplied oxygen to stabilise his condition.

Afterwards, the officers started to dismantle the lid of the electric pole using a welding gun.

The man was taken to the hospital immediately to receive medical treatment

The firefighters sent in a slim-figured colleague from the narrow side of the pole to tie a rope on the trapped man. Then they used the rope to pull him out.

The man was taken to the hospital immediately to receive medical treatment.

It is reported that the man did not sustain any life-threatening injuries. He is currently kept in hospital for further observation.
