A thief who used a frozen chicken as a tool to break into a cafe was caught after he cut his wrist and was forced to phone an ambulance, Australian police said.
The man stole the chicken during an earlier break-in at a butcher's shop at Macksville, north of Sydney, but came off second best when he tried to use the frozen bird and some rocks to break into a cafe, slashing open his wrist.
"He thought he was dying," a police spokesman who would not be named told Reuters from Macksville police headquarters.
The 20-year-old man dialled an emergency 000 number to call an ambulance and was arrested shortly after being treated by paramedics, he said.
The man was charged with breaking-and-entering and was due to face a local court in nearby Kempsey later on Wednesday.
