FIRE CREWS RESCUE PUB-GOER AFTER HE GOT HIS LEG TRAPPED DOWN A DRAIN
- Do you know the unfortunate punter? Email: [email protected]
An unlucky punter found himself stuck in a drain outside a pub in central London.
The man, who was eventually freed by London Fire Brigade, found himself trapped outside a Wetherspoons in one of London's most busiest areas - Charing Cross.
When the currently unidentified pub-goer ventured into central London for a pint in the Spring sunshine he probably did not expect to find himself at the centre of an unlikely rescue mission involving firefighters.
However, that is exactly what did happen to the man who has since gone viral for his unfortunate misadventure.
In pictures, posted to social media, the man can be seen with one leg ankle-deep in a drain outside The Montagu Pyke pub in Charing Cross.
Fire Brigade are assisting the man with a female companion nearby as members of the public watch on from behind yellow tape around the scene.
Once he is finally freed from his predicament, he can be seen hobbling away from the scene with the aid of a firefighter. The man has wide smile on his face perhaps indicating the fact he can see the funny side of the incident.
Meanwhile fellow punters can also be seen laughing as the awkward situation ends.
Ironically, this is not the first time this week firefighters have been called to rescue a punter at a Wetherspoons.
On Monday, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue had to be called to rescue a man who had become trapped in a toilet cubicle in The Punch Bowl in York.
After the man called staff for help they were also unable to rescue him and therefore had to resort to ringing the fire brigade.
When the firefighters arrived the customer was freed in four minutes.
A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue told BBC News that such callouts happened 'quite infrequently.'
MailOnline has approached the London Fire Brigade for a comment.
