Republican nominee Donald Trump has been rescued after getting stuck in an elevator.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department said the presidential candidate was trapped in an elevator that was stuck between the first and second floor of a resort.
In a statement released Saturday, the department says it was called at 1:30pm Friday to rescue about 10 people, including Trump, trapped inside the elevator at The Mining Exchange, A Wyndham Grand Hotel and Spa resort.
The department says the firefighters opened the top elevator hatch and lowered a ladder into the elevator. Trump and the others used the ladder to climb out of the elevator to the second floor. The department says no injuries were reported.
The Trump campaign confirmed that the incident occurred but did not provide details.
During a rally Friday at University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Trump criticized the city's fire marshal for limiting the number of people allowed to attend his speech at the building where the event was held.
