Child saved after hand caught in meat mincer

Saudi doctors had to resort to the civil defence to free the hand of a child after it was caught in a meat mincer while playing with it at home in the Gulf kingdom.

Civil defence units used special tools to pull the boy’s hand out of the mincer before doctors could treat him for a minor injury.

Sada Arabic language newspaper said the child’s hand was pulled out safely and that he was discharged from hospital after receiving treatment.
