A BRITISH tourist has reportedly been rushed to hospital after a “terrifying” explosion ripped through his holiday apartment.

The tourist, believed to be a 54-year-old Scotsman, was rescued from under heaps of rubble with horrified neighbours revealing they heard an “insane bang” which sounded like a bomb going off.

The Italian city of Rome was rocked by an explosion at around 9am on Sunday morning.

A huge blast erupted inside a B&B apartment which quickly caused the two-storey building in the city’s Monteverde neighbourhood to collapse.

Firefighters said they heard desperate cries for help beneath the piles of debris in the aftermath of the blast.

They spent nearly an hour trying to free the man who was rushed to Rome’s Sant’Eugenio Hospital suffering from burns to 70 per cent of his body, authorities said.
