THIS is the bizarre moment an inmate found himself waist-deep – after a bungled escape attempt.

Alan Leandro da Silva, 32, can be seen awkwardly wedged in his cell wall as a firefighter drills through the concrete around his torso.

Bizarre footage shows Alan resting his upper body on a blue chair while fire officers try to free him from the cell wall at the prison in Rio Branco.

His shirtless back, marked by a large demon tattoo, was strained from hanging down over the floor.

It also appears to be injured, with visible grazes and bloody wounds shown in the video.

Officers said they had to be extra careful not to injure his upper body during the drilling process.

Alan attempted to make his escape through the rugged hole while the guards were distracted.

But he appears to have underestimated the size of his escape hole – or his body – soon finding himself stuck waist-deep inside the wall.

After wardens noticed “strange movement” in the cell on Monday, they called firefighters for help.

Officers carefully extracted the inmate, who was freed unharmed.

A fire department spokesperson said: “According to the inmate’s own account, the hole was dug for two days using a nail and a broomstick.

“However, during the escape attempt, he was trapped inside the opening.

“In view of the situation, Criminal Police called the Fire Department to carry out the rescue.

Bumbling ‘arsonists’ who try to set fire to a house accidentally set their getaway car ablaze as they try to escape

“Following diligent efforts, the rescue team managed to successfully free the victim, who was then securely turned over to the Criminal Police team that was already waiting at the location.”

The man was given first aid before being sent back to his cell.

Jail officials have yet to explain how the man obtained the tools or how the large hole in the wall went unnoticed.

It comes as a trio of would-be arsonists accidentally torched their own getaway car.

Security footage from southern Australia shows a clumsy man dousing the front of a house with a liquid – before his escape plan goes up in flames.

Meanwhile, a bungling crew member activated a jet’s emergency slide by mistake – putting it out of service and delaying hundreds of passengers.

The gaffe, which took place on a BA flight in January, cost the airline £100,000.
