Man stuck in toilet looking for phone
MSNBC News Services
Passengers on a New York commuter train had extra reason to be unhappy with
a fellow passenger with a cell phone. The man was on a suburban train from
Grand Central Station when he went to the bathroom to make a phone call,
dropped the phone into the toilet bowl and then his hand and arm became
stuck trying to retrieve it, officials said.
THE TRAIN was held at the Fordham Station after a passenger heard cries for
help Wednesday evening, officials said.
Metro-North Railroad staff could not help the man and called police officers
and firefighters to extricate him, a process that took 90 minutes using
"jaws of life" rescue equipment.
"The toilets are made of aluminum so I imagine he was down on hands and
knees with his shirt rolled up and hand and arm down inside, trying to flush
out his cell phone," said Jim Cameron of the Connecticut Metro-North
commuter council.
He said that because of the design of the train toilet, the mobile probably
ended up in a chemical holding tank.
