A YORK man was forced to call police and firefighters for help when his arm became stuck in an armchair as he tried to retrieve a mobile phone SIM card.
The emergency services freed the man at his home in Burrill Avenue shortly before 1am on Sunday after he had dragged the chair closer to his phone and called police.
Due to having arthritis and a medical condition, he was given oxygen at the scene but did not need hospital treatment.
