 LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say a man who was freed from a space between two walls of a Colorado department store may have been there for several days yelling for help.

Longmont police Sgt. Matt Cage says Paul Felyk was rescued Tuesday. The Longmont Times-Call reports (http://tinyurl.com/mokop25 ) firefighters used a circular saw to cut into the side of the building to free him.

Employees at the Marshalls store reported hearing someone yelling Monday but couldn t tell where it was coming from. On Tuesday, employees found the man yelling through a hole in the wall, so they notified authorities.

Longmont Fire Department spokeswoman Molly Meehan says Felyk entered the building through a vent on the roof for unknown reasons.

The 35-year-old was hospitalized and his condition was unavailable.

Police are still investigating.
