Firemen called to free man's penis from sex aid

 A hospital had to call out firefighters after a patient came into casualty with his penis stuck in a steel ring.

 Doctors and nurses at first tried to use cutters to free the man from his metal sex toy.

 After the blades of the cutters snapped, staff at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton decided to call out
 the fire brigade.

 Firefighters had to use a pair of two-man hydraulic jaws to carefully cut through the metal during the delicate
 operation, reports the Brighton Evening Argus.

 Sub-officer Mick Collins said: "He was trying to be very chatty to cover up his embarrassment but he must have
 walked in to the hospital like John Wayne."
