Firefighters had to rappel down a building at Portage and Main to try and rescue a man who tried to climb to the top on Monday.

After nine hours, crews were eventually able to coax the man off the side of the building just behind the MTS Place.

Police said the call came in on Monday as a ‘dangerous’ situation at 333 Main Street.

There are no reports of any injuries at this time.

The right lane of Portage Ave. eastbound was closed throughout the rescue.
