[Baltimore Sun] Man rescued from 30-foot well in Catonsville suffers serious injuries
Read Time:1 Minute, 43 Second
A man was rescued from a 30-foot well in Catonsville Wednesday afternoon.
Matt Staffin, who was walking with his son, heard a person yelling for help and discovered the man trapped in the well, Staffin, a neighbor to the man, said. The man, identified as Steven Johnson, had been walking behind his home near the 2100 block of Old Frederick Road when he fell into the hole.
Staffin noted that the well looked to be “nicely constructed” as it had cinderblocks for walls and the neighborhood used to be farmland, making it susceptible to sinkholes.
“It looked like the ground just gave way and fell,” Staffin said. “I think it might be a leftover byproduct of an old farm.”
Firefighters responded around 2:45 p.m. to rescue the man, who suffered serious injuries, according to a post by the Baltimore County Fire Department on X.
