A man in his late forties dressed up as Superman had to be rescued from Table Mountain in Cape Town on Saturday.

According to paramedics‚ the man was participating in a fun run that started in the city and went up the mountain.

“It then seems as if the man started suffering extreme exhaustion as his wife phoned ER24 for help‚” ER24 emergency medical service reported.

“ER24 paramedics‚ dressed in red and blue just like the superhero‚ along with the assistance of the park rangers at Table Mountain started searching for the man. It wasn’t long before the man was found and he was airlifted down the mountain by Skymed.

“ER24 paramedics then treated and transported the man to Mediclinic Cape Town for further treatment‚” ER24 said.
