British man in Bali rescued after 6 days trapped in well
Bali: A British man who spent six days trapped in a well after being chased by a dog has been rescued on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, authorities said on Sunday.
A rescue team lifted 29-year-old Jacob Roberts from the four-meter-deep concrete pit after a farmer in Pecatu village raised the alarm. "Jacob's demands help were heard by an area who was likely to feed his cows," local search and rescue chief Gede Darmada told AFP.
Roberts broke his leg when he stumbled into the near-empty reservoir. He told authorities he previously been trying to evade a dog that chased him through the village. "He looked thin and injured," South Kuta police chief Yusak Agustinus Sooai said following the Briton's rescue on Saturday. Police took Roberts to a local hospital for treatment.
