Around 10 PM on November 28th, a man named Tuan, appearing disoriented, climbed onto the corrugated iron roof of a four-story house in an alley off Xom Chieu Street, Ward 13, District 4. He ran back and forth across the roof before falling into a gap between the wall and the neighboring house. The victim was injured and tried to call for help. Residents attempted to rescue him but were unsuccessful, so they reported the incident to the authorities.

More than 20 rescuers arrived at the scene. Police used ladders to lower ropes from the 4th floor to pull Mr. Tuan up, but were unsuccessful due to the narrow gap. Oxygen was continuously pumped to the trapped area. Around 2 AM, authorities managed to break through the wall to reach the trapped man and bring him out. The rescue operation lasted three hours.

Mr. Tuan sustained minor abrasions and was taken to the hospital for a health check. According to the police, the victim may have been experiencing hallucinations due to the use of stimulants, leading to uncontrolled behavior.
