My fish dinner leapt in the loo!

-

A HUNGRY man had to be freed by firemen after the fish he was about to prepare for dinner jumped in the toilet – and he got his arm stuck trying to catch it.

When the unnamed man took the live fish from its bucket of water by the loo, it made a bid for freedom into the oldfashion­ed squat toilet – a hole set into a ceramic platform in the floor.

The man’s entire arm was trapped up to the shoulder, and it took firemen 30 minutes to chisel away at the pipework and surroundin­g concrete to free him.

A video of the incident at a dormitory in Taijian County, China, was watched more than three million times in a day.

The rescue left the man with a swollen limb. The fish could not be recovered.
