A passenger on a French train had to be rescued after having his arm sucked down the on-board toilet. The 26-year-old Frenchman became trapped while trying to fish his mobile phone out of the toilet on a high-speed train, passengers said.
They said he fell foul of the toilet's the powerful suction system which drains the loos on board, the rail network's regional office said.
Firefighters had to cut through the U-bend to free him.
The high-speed TGV train had to stop for two hours while firemen cut through the train's pipework.
The man was carried away by emergency services, with the toilet still attached to his arm.
"He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off," said Benoit Gigou, a witness to the man's plight.
The incident happened on Sunday evening, aboard a train travelling in western France between La Rochelle and Paris.
