Unable to return to where he entered, he eventually saw a distant light shining through a manhole cover on an overhead street.
Antonio decided to remain in that spot and scream for help.
Local residents said they could hear faint shouts of a man in the area, but couldn’t determine where it was coming from.
He reportedly hollered for three days before a passing woman eventually heard his cries and was able to locate where he was.
She immediately informed the authorities and Antonio was safely lifted out of the sewer.
