A hapless Mets fan tried to make a diving catch when her gold tooth fell into a Citi Field toilet - and got her arm stuck in the commode.
The unidentified woman's bizarre Flushing adventure happened during last Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves.
It's unclear how long she was trapped screaming, but stadium security guards and emergency medical personnel eventually showed up. But they could not pry her loose on their own.
They called for back-up — dialing up a worker from Cardoza Plumbing, the company that installed all 646 ultra-low-flow toilets at Citi Field.
He rushed to the scene from his company's Jamaica headquarters 7.2 miles away, the sources said. The anxious victim, meanwhile, could only wait as the toilet continued to flush over her arm.
At one point, she became more entertaining than the game — which the Mets lost 8-7 — as fans gathered outside the bathroom to see the off-field action. The woman did not recover her tooth, but was relieved just to leave the bathroom.
