NYU Student Wedged Between Building

Fire Officials rescued a 19 year old NYU student at 6:25 sunday. The victim, Asher Vongtau, was trapped between two buildings for possibly as long as 2 days. A spokesperson for the fire department says that he is in critical condition and is being treated in the Bellevue Hospital. They are uncertain on how she got trapped between a 5 story parking garage and a NYU dorm building. To rescue Vongatu workers had to break through a concrete wall and it took about 90 minutes to get him out of an area 6-18 inches wide. The fire department spokesperson also said that the only way to get in between the buildings is from the roof of one of them.
