Hudson Fire Chief John Blood said Joseph Parker, a worker at Ninety Nine Restaurant in Hudson, accidentally locked some keys in his manager's office Sunday night and decided to attempt to get into the office through the ceiling, the Boston Globe reported Monday.

Blood said firefighters responded around 10:10 p.m. and found Parker trapped in a basement ceiling above the prep kitchen. "What our guys ended up doing was loosening up some of the piping, and lowering it out of the way to get him out," Blood said. "He refused any transport or treatment but said he felt some numbness." Blood said the restaurant continued dining service during the rescue operation.
