Officers said they had to be extra careful not to injure his upper body during the drilling process.

But he appears to have underestimated the size of his escape hole - or his body - soon finding himself stuck waist-deep inside the wall. After wardens noticed 'strange movement' in the cell on Monday, they called firefighters for help. Officers carefully extracted the inmate, who was freed unharmed. A fire department spokesperson said: "According to the inmate's own account, the hole was dug for two days using a nail and a broomstick. "However, during the escape attempt, he was trapped inside the opening.

The man was given first aid before being sent back to his cell. Jail officials have yet to explain how the man obtained the tools or how the large hole in the wall went unnoticed. It comes as a trio of would-be arsonists accidentally torched their own getaway car. Security footage from southern Australia shows a clumsy man dousing the front of a house with a liquid - before his escape plan goes up in flames. Meanwhile, a bungling crew member activated a jet's emergency slide by mistake - putting it out of service and delaying hundreds of passengers. The gaffe, which took place on a BA flight in January, cost the airline £100,000.

Prisoner painstakingly dug a tunnel but failed to escape after getting stuck
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video This is the moment an inmate was found wedged in a hole during a bungled escape attempt in Brazil. Prisoner Alan Leandro da Silva, 32, spent two days using a broomstick handle and a nail to dig the opening in his cell at Rio Branco Penitentiary. Thinking the hole was wide enough, he tried to slip through while the guards were distracted, only to find himself lodged firmly in the concrete. Wardens foiled the attempted prison break after seeing 'strange movement' in the cell on June 16. They called firefighters to help free da Silva, whose upper body had started to strain from dangling over the floor. Footage shows the convict leaning on a blue chair as rescuers drill through the concrete around his torso. Officers completed the painstaking extraction and freed da Silva unharmed. A fire department spokesman said: 'According to the inmate's own account, the hole was dug for two days using a nail and a broomstick. 'However, during the escape attempt, he was trapped inside the opening. In view of the situation, the Criminal Police called the Fire Department to carry out the rescue. 'After thorough work, the rescue team was able to successfully release the victim, who was safely handed over to the Criminal Police team that was already on standby at the scene.' The man was given first aid before being hauled back into his cell, but it's unclear how he got the tools to make his escape attempt possible. In 2018, a prisoner suffocated to death just metres from escaping after digging a 70-metre-long tunnel from his cell toilet to freedom. More Trending Judson Cunha Evangelista, 26, suffered from a lack of oxygen as he carved the tunnel, which had already passed under the perimeter wall of the maximum security jail in Boa Vista, northern Brazil. The escape route was discovered by police after the inmate, who was serving time for murder, managed to make it back to his cell after becoming ill inside the hole, but he died soon after. Shocked officers discovered a hole which began underneath the toilet in Evangelista's cell in Wing 7 of the Monte Cristo penitentiary, the largest prison in Brazil's northernmost state of Roraima. The dirt tunnel continued for 70 metres underneath the prison and had already passed under its heavily-fortified outer walls and electric fences, according to prison authorities.
