Crew manager Chris Wales said: “We get the odd call like this, because we have certain bits of kit which can help out in these sorts of situations.

“We were able to remove the door so it could do no more damage to his hand, and then take it from there.

“The lad needed a check-up to make sure nothing was broken, but thankfully he didn’t need hospital treatment.”
