A TEENAGE boy was rescued by fire and ambulance crews after he fell from a 12ft high wall in Pocklington and suffered a possible broken leg.
The 14-year-old boy had fallen into a high-walled compound in Deans Lane, Pocklington, just after 9pm last night and was in a confined space, according to a Humberside Fire Service spokesman.
During an hour-long operation crews used short extension ladders to slide a stretcher along to rescue him.
The fire service spokesman said: "A group of friends were just larking about and one had fallen off a wall and landed in a brick compound.
"There were high walls on all four side so it was quite difficult, but ourselves and ambulance managed to get him out."
The boy was taken by ambulance to York District Hospital.
