Firefighters in China have once again been called out to rescue someone stuck in something strange, this time to free a young boy with his head trapped in the hole of a massage table.

The bizarre video, filmed at a Traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Wuhan, Hubei Province on Saturday, shows the firemen cutting up the front part of the table and widening the gap with specialised equipment to pull out the boy's head.

According to local reports, the four-year-old boy escaped injuries after the twenty-minute rescue.
