Dropped phone leaves man otherwise engaged in toilet

A man who dropped his mobile phone down the toilet had to be freed by rescuers, after his arm got stuck in the toilet pipe

When rescue workers arrived on the scene in Jiangsu province in China, they found the man crouched over the toilet in a bathroom stall, his entire arm submerged up to the shoulder in the drain.

Workers broke the porcelain bowl with crowbars and hammered the pipes, taking care not to injure the man, CCTV reported.

After 10 minutes of work, the man was able to slowly remove his cut and bruised arm from the bowl -- and retrieve his waterlogged phone.
