A British man survived for six days after falling down a well on the holiday island of Bali in Indonesia while running away from a dog that had been chasing him.
Authorities rescued 29-year-old Jacob Roberts from the four-metre-deep concrete pit after a farmer in the village of Pecatu raised the alarm.
He was heard shouting for help from the bottom of the well by a local resident who had gone out to feed his cows.
He is understood to have suffered a broken leg in the fall into the pit.
Police chief Yusak Agustinus Sooai said “he looked thin and injured” and had been taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
