SAN ANTONIO -- A construction worker had to be rescued by crane Monday after he was injured on the 25th floor of a new Hyatt Hotel downtown.

Authorities said the man is believed to have broken his ankle while working on the hotel at East Market Street.

Rescuers had to save the stranded worker by using a crane because the elevator of the hotel only would go to the 20th floor.

The man was taken to a hospital to be treated for his injuries.
