Boy's head cut out of toilet seat

The fire crew used a hacksaw to cut the plastic seat from the youngster's head after being called to a house in Laindon, Essex.

"We're always glad to be of service," said an Essex Fire and Rescue Service spokesman. "Youngsters do this sort of thing from time to time."

The boy's mother was very worried but he was unhurt by his ordeal, he added.
