A hiker was airlifted out of Fryman Canyon Park in the Hollywood Hills on Thursday after falling 30 feet down a hard-to-reach embankment.

At about 7:45 a.m., Los Angeles firefighters received a call concerning an injured hiker in the 8400 block of Mulholland Drive, said Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.

The man sustained a leg injury during the fall, Humphrey said, and rescuers determined that because of the hiker’s location, it would be best to airlift him out.
