Individual trapped within elevator for an extended period of four days!

In Osnabrück, Germany, a dramatic rescue unfolded last month when a man in his mid-70s was found trapped in an elevator for four days. The rescue hero was a paramedic named Markus S, who managed to free the man who was completely exhausted due to the ordeal.

The man's predicament occurred due to a blown fuse, leaving him stuck between two floors without food, water, or contact with the outside world. His exact age and address remain unknown, but his son reported his sudden disappearance and lack of contact to the police.

After four days, the Osnabrück police arrived and called out for the missing man, hearing a weak voice from the elevator shaft. The rescue service provided immediate medical treatment to the man upon finding him.

The man, upon being rescued, expressed that he was never a big fan of the police. However, he expressed gratitude to the officers, stating he was happy to hear a police officer's voice during his rescue. As a token of thanks, the man invited the officers to his home last week.

The man has since recovered from his ordeal, as confirmed by a police spokesperson. The Osnabrück police took the opportunity to reiterate their commitment to serving everyone, regardless of personal feelings towards the police. They confirmed this on Instagram, stating, "We are here to serve everyone."

No new information about the "Highway Phantom" case was provided in the article. The rescue of the elderly man serves as a reminder of the essential role that emergency services play in our communities.
