Republican US presidential nominee Donald Trump has been rescued from a lift that was stuck between the first and second floors of a resort.

The Colorado Springs Fire Department says it was called on Saturday to rescue about 10 people, including Trump, trapped inside the lift at The Mining Exchange, A Wyndham Grand Hotel & Spa resort.

The department says the firefighters opened the top lift hatch and lowered a ladder into the lift.

Trump and the others used the ladder to climb out of the lift to the second floor. The department says no injuries were reported.

The Trump campaign confirmed that the incident occurred but did not provide details.
