Police assist man in laundry room

A man in the west end of Reykjavík had to call police yesterday evening after winding up in a critical situation while doing laundry.

The man told police that he had placed dirty laundry in the washing machine but when he turned on the machine it began to jerk and lurch with a great deal of commotion, ending up propped up against the laundry room door and blocking the exit.

Police came to the man’s rescue, remarking that this was one more example that doing laundry is not man’s work.
