A CHILD IN Derry had to be cut free by fire crews yesterday, after his hand became trapped in a cinema seat.

The young boy had been attending the cinema to see the new Smurfs film with his family, but had managed to get his hand trapped in the seat at the Omniplex in the Quayside Shopping Centre yesterday afternoon.

Crews from Northland and Crescent Links attended the scene, and used a hydraulic cutter, socket sets and screwdrivers to free him.

It is not believed that the boy required hospital treatment afterwards but both he and his mother and father were relieved when he was eventually freed.

    Any chance of banning booze altogether?
    I’m sick of the previous generation gargling up their fat pensions and abusing their bodies with cream buns and fags and then expecting so called “doctors” to work miracles on their carcasses with extortionate pills and procedures while we all foot the bill for their gluttony and exuberance.
    Just listen to the f€ckers.
