A 36-year-old man fell from the Peppara Dam here while taking a selfie on Wednesday but had a miraculous escape from possible death.

Fire Force personnel who rushed to the dam site after being informed, pulled the youth to safety.

A fire force officer said the man luckily caught hold of a metal pipe on the dam wall when he fell.

''We got information that a man fell from the dam. When we reached there, we found him hanging on the dam wall holding a metal pipe,'' the officer said.

One of three firemen there climbed down the wall and was able to lift the man up after a while, using a net.

The incident took place while the man and his friends were taking selfies at the dam site, the officer added. He didn't suffer any major injury, police said.
