Police released the body camera footage and 911 call in connection with the case of a Connecticut man who told officers he started a fire in order to escape the small room he had been locked away in by his stepmother for more than two decades.

NBC Connecticut obtained video of police rescuing a man who said his stepmother had held him captive inside their home for 20 years.

The 32-year-old man told firefighters that he intentionally set fire to his stepmom's home and said, "I wanted my freedom" after 20 years of captivity.
