Sarasota County Emergency Services rescued a worker stuck on a scaffolding in Sarasota County on Monday afternoon.
Sarasota Police responded and directed traffic while crews worked to free a worker stuck on a scaffolding dangling from the 10th story of an 18-story condominium building that is currently under construction.
One motor for the scaffolding wouldn't shut off and continued to raise one side up on the side of the building, which is how the scaffolding became uneven.
