if it is broken on inside you can cut the plastic around it then grab wire with vice grips, hold plastic and pull wire . otherwise you will have to try to get something from underneath hood latch to unlatch it, usually a long screwdriver etc. then if you cannot get a new cable pull remaining cable out through the grill where you can reach it.
