DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - Police in Duluth say a man has been rescued after being stranded for days in a remote area near the Superior Hiking Trail.

Officials were called Monday afternoon to an area near the trail and the Lake Superior Zoo about a person needing medical assistance.

Fire crews rescued the 36-year-old man from the ravine. Police believe he may have been there for three to four days.
