Firefighters pulled a window washer to safety after his main harness broke, leaving him dangling off Kansas City’s tallest building Tuesday morning, a fire department spokesman said.

A pair of unlikely heroes jumped in to help a window washer left dangling 23 stories in the air after his main harness broke.

The Kansas City, Missouri, Fire Department responded around 10:15 a.m. Tuesday to a high-angle rescue near 12th and Baltimore downtown.

The worker was unable to go up or down the side of the building, and was instead left dangling between the 22nd and 23rd floor of the tallest building in Kansas City.

Etienne Wager and Lucas Berry of Santa Fe Glass were doing glass work on the 12th floor of One Kansas City Place, the tallest skyscraper in Kansas City when they were asked if they could help out with the rescue taking place on the 26th floor. The window washer’s main harness broke, leaving him dangling on his backup harness for 45 minutes.

Local law enforcement agencies and rescue crews are currently on the scene of a rescue operation after a window washer was reported to be stuck on the outside of Kansas City's tallest high-rise Tuesday morning.
