"Grandma, I slipped in." The head of the grandson in the bathroom was actually stuck in the toilet and couldn't move.
Last night, in the Yinhai Yayuan residential area near the Kunming International Convention and Exhibition Center, a 5-year-old child got his head stuck in the toilet while using the restroom. After the firefighters arrived, they sawed open the toilet within just 6 minutes and rescued the child.
"Grandma, I slipped in." At 8:20 PM yesterday, Grandma Wang was still in the living room not finished taking her medicine when she heard her little monkey (grandson's nickname) calling from the bathroom. When she went in, she found that her grandson's head was stuck in the toilet and couldn't move. Unable to help, the police from Chun Cheng Road police station sought assistance from the fire department.
"Don't worry, listen to Uncle, close your eyes, you'll be out in a moment," said Grandma Wang as she hugged her grandson when she saw the firefighters come. At 8:50 PM, six firefighters from the Guandu No. 2 Fire Station of the Kunming Public Security Fire Brigade arrived at the scene.
At this point, Little Monkey's head was firmly stuck in the toilet bowl, with his entire body leaning on the toilet unable to move. A worried Grandma Wang held her grandson's body with both hands, and to avoid causing too much pain to her grandson, she also used a pillow to cushion under the child's head.
After entering the bathroom, one firefighter supported the child's body, while another tried to unscrew the screws on the toilet seat and move it to free the child. "Head down, turn around", "Still can't get out." In ten minutes, no matter how they moved, the child's ears could come out, but his forehead was still stuck inside the toilet seat.
Seeing that this method was ineffective, the firefighters decided to cut the toilet seat with a hacksaw.
"Little friend, close your eyes." At 9:00 PM, the firefighter began cutting the toilet seat.
After taking out the hacksaw, Grandma Wang consoled Little Monkey, saying, "This thing is too bad, we don't need it anymore."
But Little Monkey anxiously asked, "I'm scared, will it hurt me?"
"No, close your eyes, you'll be out soon," comforted the firefighter nearby.
The entire bathroom suddenly became quiet, only hearing the "squeak, squeak" sound. After 6 minutes, the plastic toilet seat was sawed off. One firefighter protected Monkey's head and pulled it out from the loosened toilet seat.
"Out!" Seeing her grandson come out of the toilet cover unscathed, Grandma Wang was so excited that she almost cried.
After being rescued, the child refused to say why he got stuck. Grandma Wang said there were two toilet seats on the toilet; the child's was on the upper layer, and the adult's was on the lower layer. It was estimated that after the child sat on the adult's toilet seat, his head stretched into the idle toilet seat when his body leaned back.
"Take it, take it, we owe you guys today." Monkey's grandfather handed a pack of Yunyan cigarettes to the firefighters, but they declined. After successfully rescuing the child, the firefighters quickly left the scene.
"Didn't even have time to thank them, they left. You must thank them for me," Grandma Wang excitedly told the reporter.
