CNN is reporting a man pulled alive from the rubble of a building in Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince on Monday may have been trapped since the January 12 quake that levelled much of the city.

The 28-year-old, identified as Evan Muncie, was found in the wreckage of a market where he sold rice.

He suffered from extreme dehydration and malnutrition, but did not appear to have significant crushing injuries.

A teenage girl was previously pulled alive from under a collapsed house in Port-au-Prince, 15 days after Haiti's devastating earthquake.
