CATONSVILLE, Md. 鈥擜 man was rescued from a 30-foot well in Catonsville on Wednesday afternoon.

Matt Straffin, who was walking with his son, heard a person yelling for help and discovered the man trapped in the well, Straffin, the man鈥檚 neighbor, said. The man had been walking behind his home near the 2100 block of Old Frederick Road when he fell into the hole.

Straffin noted that the well looked to be 鈥渘icely constructed鈥 as it had cinderblocks for walls and the neighborhood used to be farmland, making it susceptible to sinkholes.

鈥淚t looked like the ground just gave way and fell,鈥 Straffin said. 鈥淚 think it might be a leftover byproduct of an old farm.鈥

Firefighters responded around 2:45 p.m. to rescue the man, who suffered serious injuries, according to a post by the Baltimore County Fire Department on X .
