Squirrel with cup stuck on its head rescued by emergency responders

Emergency responders in Connecticut came to the rescue of a squirrel on Friday.



Members of Enfield Emergency Medical Services rushed into action after spotting the rodent with its head stuck in a cup.



The little animal was wildly jumping and flipping into the air in an effort to dislodge the cup. The responders' first attempt to remove the cup was unsuccessful. The wily rodent hopped out of one officer's hands and through the legs of another.



The second attempt proved more successful. An officer covered the animal with a blanket and held its body steady while another officer removed the cup before the squirrel scampered away into some nearby bushes.
