The Northampton Fire Department extricated an elderly man after he fell down a steep embankment on Monday night.
Police had been dispatched to a residence on South Street to help locate a resident's missing husband who had gone on a walk with their dog.
They found the 84-year-old man in a wooded area nearby.
He had apparently been yelling for help for several hours.
Reports indicate the individual was taken to Cooley Dickinson Hospital with apparent minor injuries.
