A woman in Xinmi of Henan Province got her arm jammed in a toilet last Sunday, necessitating its demolition.

While Jiao was using the toilet at a shopping centre, her mobile phone in her trouser pocket fell into the urinal. She then tried to grab the phone, but her arm became jammed.

A guard in the shopping centre came to help when Jiao shouted, but failed to free her. The guard called police, who came and used lubricant to make the job easier, but this failed as well.

Finally, police totally destroyed the toilet and sewer, enabling Jiao to pull out her arm.
