A rescue in the rubble was caught on video after a tornado tore through Streator, Illinois, on Thursday.

A confirmed, large tornado hit the Streator area around 5:50 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. Damage to structures was reported on the south side of Streator, according to the NWS and Illinois State Police.

The rescue happened after a man was found trapped in a pile of debris, video provided to NBC Chicago by a local photographer showed. He said he believed his leg may have been broken.

A good Samaritan at the scene said she tried to help the man get out of the rubble by moving some of it around, but was unsuccessful. What appeared to be a large slab of wood had trapped the man.

The photographer then helped lift the wooden slab as two police officers walked up to the scene. The man was visibly in pain as the officers quickly worked to move debris around him.

“We got a door over back we can put him on,” one officer could be heard saying.

The two officers freed the man and helped lift him from the debris, the video showed.

Other videos shared with NBC Chicago showed the tornado ripping through Streator.

The NWS also confirmed a tornado on the ground near Dwight, Illinois, just after 6:15 p.m. Another brief tornado touchdown happened earlier in the day in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, though there were no immediate reports of damage.

The NWS also said a “large, damaging” tornado moved through parts of northwest Indiana. It first impacted areas around Merrillville and Hobart when it touched down just after 7 p.m., the agency said.
