MEXICALI, Mexico (KYMA) - A man was rescued after getting stuck on the border wall, 30 feet in the air, in Mexicali.

Firefighters used a rescue ladder to bring down a 36-year-old man Monday night, but police took him into custody.

"This was a case of arrest for a misdemeanor, but there are people who try to cross and damage the wall, which is a federal crime, and the person is arrested and presented to federal authorities. We have also identified human and drug trafficking," Chief Luis Felipe Chan with the Mexicali Police.

No injuries were reported.
