Officials said the man was working in the warehouse, when he fell about 15 feet down a large machine and became trapped, KTRK reported.

Rescuers initially had difficulty getting to the man because of the size of the machinery, but were able to lower a rope to the man and pull him out, KPRC reported.

The injured worker was seriously injured in the call, and was flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital where he is listed in stable condition.

Officials could not say why the man fell.
