Chinese man gets leg caught in boar trap

An old man caught in a boar trap on a hillside in Hangzhou, China was successfully freed by firemen on Saturday afternoon.

When 14 firefighters on two firetrucks arrived at the scene on the hillside, they found the old man's right leg, caught in a boar trap, was bleeding and he was constantly trembling, with a pallid countenance.

As the trap is made of quite thick steel bars, the firefighters cut the trap with a toothless saw and finally freed the old man from the trap.

A firefighter said when you get caught by a trap, you should call for help when there are people passing by and try to preserve your physical strength. He also warned that under law it is illegal to set traps or snares to catch wild animals.
