San Diego Sector Border Patrol agents and Mexican authorities teamed up to rescue a migrant who became stuck on the U.S. side of the border wall. The agents found the man hanging from a section extending into the Pacific Ocean.
Border Patrol agents patrolling the wall Tuesday night near Imperial Beach observed a man hanging from the section extending into the Pacific Ocean, according to information obtained from San Diego Sector Border Patrol officials.
Officials say the man attempted to scale the wall from Mexico into Southern California when he became stuck and was left hanging above the water line on the U.S. side of the wall. Mexican authorities lent a hand and helped dislodge the man from the wall, officials reported.
Border Patrol agents took the man into custody and assessed his medical condition. They identified the man as a 25-year-old Mexican national.
Emergency services staff provided transportation to a local hospital where he was evaluated and treated for knee pain and hypothermia.
