BOSTON (WHDH) – New video gives a different look at a frightening fall outside the Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston.
Body camera video depicts the moment Boston police call out to a man who fell down a ventilation shaft earlier this month.
The worker was trapped for some time and was eventually extracted by the Boston Fire Department. He was rushed by Boston EMS to a nearby hospital to be treated for undisclosed injuries.
Boston Inspectional Services said the brackets that held the grate were deteriorated and gave away.
The building’s owner was ordered to hire a structural engineer to inspect all remaining grates.
The owner will also be issued a building code violation.
