Fire crews worked for an hour to free a man who had become impaled through his cheek on a railing in Hull in the early hours of Saturday.

The man was found on Princess Avenue at about 1am by firefighters who had been called to the scene.



Two crews from Humberside Fire and Rescue used a saw to free the man who was then given medical care.

The fire service did not give details of how the man became stuck on the railings.
