A Second Avenue subway construction worker was freed early Wednesday morning after being stuck waist-deep in “muck” for four hours Tuesday night in an underground tunnel.

More than 100 emergency workers were called to the scene after the worker became trapped about 8:30 p.m. in a tunnel 75 feet underground near the corner of Second Avenue and 95th Street.

The man was finally freed at about 12:40 a.m. after responders worked for hours to remove debris from around the man in order to extract him from the mud. Con Edison brought an industrial vacuum to help suck out the debris.

An assistant fire chief said the man had somehow gotten his foot stuck in a frame used in the construction and sank into the mud.

The fire department posted a video on Twitter of the man emerging from the ground.

The worker, who was not identified, was conscious the whole time and taken to an ambulance immediately following the rescue. He likely suffered from hypothermia, the New York Times reported. Swaddled in blankets, he was pulled out of the ground in a yellow basket suspended by a crane.

Three firefighters were also injured during the treacherous rescue, according to news reports.

The NYPD Air Sea Rescue team responded to a 911 call Saturday afternoon to rescue two men who had fallen out of a kayak in Jamaica Bay.

A pair of trained divers with the Harbor Unit, Detective Brian Singer and Officer Marian Kopystianskyj, dropped down from a helicopter to rescue one of the men from the water, and transport him to the Aviation Base at Floyd Bennet Field. EMS then took him to Kings County Hospital to be treated for hypothermia.

An Emergency Services Unit detective, John Kerry, also heard the 911 call and reported to the scene, where he spotted the second kayaker trying to swim to a boat anchored in the bay. Kerry quickly changed into a wet suit and swam 200 yards out to the boat.

Another Harbor Unit helicopter rescued Kerry and the kayaker and brought them to shore, where EMS personnel took the kayaker to Jamaica Hospital and Kerry to Lutheran Hospital. They both received treatment for hypothermia.

The kayakers and Detective Kerry are all in stable condition.
