Drunk Man Rescued off Sydney, Australia Cliff

A harrowing rescue caught on tape.

A 19-year-old Ukrainian man believed to be drunk, got stuck on this Sydney cliff back on February 23rd.

A local fisherman noticed the young tourist perched 100 feet above the water dressed only in board shorts.

When rescuers finally got to him they found him asleep.

[Gary Sinclair, New South Wales Ambulance Service]:
"Apparently, he's gone down to have a look at the sunrise and proceeded to move down the cliff but then found he could not proceed either up or down.”

A rescue helicopter was called in, and when an officer reached the young man, he was sleeping.

It took the rescue officer a few shakes before Gary woke up and was safely removed from the cliff.

The man known as Gary had no visible injuries but headed to the hospital for a checkup.
