Firefighters Rescue Man Stuck in Manchester Phone Booth

Firefighters rescued a man after he got stuck inside a telephone booth while trying to order food. The incident occurred in Manchester, United Kingdom, when the man entered a traditional red telephone booth hoping to use the phone inside. The phone, of course, did not work, and the situation worsened when the door closed behind him, trapping him inside. The man remained stuck for about an hour. As these booths are typically opened with special keys, passers-by could not free him. Eventually, firefighters were called to the scene and forced the door open as spectators gathered nearby.
