Firefighters had to smash through a wall at the New York Times building yesterday to rescue a man stuck in an express elevator.

The man became trapped at about 10:20 a.m. when the car stalled around the 11th floor in an area of the shaft with no doors.

A firefighter said the man was “a little shaken up” but declined medical treatment.

The city Buildings Department is investigating the incident.

The elevators are maintained by Fujitec, an Ohio-based company.
