Firefighters freed a man stuck in a recycling bin in northern China.

The bizarre clip, filmed in Nanyang City in Henan Province on June 25, shows a man getting trapped in a recycling bin with only his two legs out of it.

Firemen try to use shovels and a pair of pliers to break the lock and open the bin door.

Then the man moves his legs into the bin and climbs out of the opened door by himself.

Since the man left immediately after he has been freed, the reason why he got stuck was unknown.
