A window washer in Brookline is expected to be OK after he was left dangling from the twelfth floor of a building Wednesday morning, according to officials.
Authorities said the worker was safely pulled in after first responders were called to Pond Avenue around 9 a.m.
“It was a good 20 to 25 minutes of him purely hanging like this,” said onlooker Doug Leon, raising both of his arms.
Leon told reporters that from what he could tell from watching down below, the window washer appeared to be able to call for help on his own.
“Kudos to that man. Honestly, he was like, he was holding on – I’m pretty sure he called 911 himself – I saw him pull out his cell phone a couple of times and then reach back up – literally from the top floor hanging like this over the window,” Leon said.
