A MAN who had left his keys in his flat attempted to get in through his balcony and ended up hanging from his façade before police managed to rescue him.
The 49 year-old climbed onto the roof of the apartment block in Sant Andreu de la Barca, Barcelona and using a rope, lowered himself over the edge.
It transpired the rope wasn’t long enough, and he was left hanging precariously.
Neighbours notified the police and fire service, who finally managed to bring him back to safety.
