A North Tonawanda man has been rescued after police say he was found surviving in the woods, without food or water for 11 days.

Police say 65-year-old John Tylock went missing from his North Tonawanda home on July 29. His wife said he went out for a walk and never returned.

Using Border Patrol helicopters, Niagara County Sheriff's Office K9s and foot searches, police were unable to locate Tylock.

North Tonawanda Police Lieutenant Karen Smith says its a "miracle" Tylock was found alive.
