Wednesday 4th February 2009, 12:40PM GMT.
Firefighters were called to help a Telford schoolboy after he got his finger stuck in a plastic toolbox.
Staff at Muxton Primary School had to call for the firefighters when they were unable to budge the seven-year-old’s finger.
The youngster had been playing during lunchtime when he stuck his right index finger in a circular hole in a toolbox shortly before 1.30pm.
Ian Pugh, crew manager at Wellington fire station, said: “We used some small cutting gear to do little snips to get it out.”
The boy was unhurt.
His parents took him home to recover from his mishap.
