Spanner


Darwin Man puts his works in a spanner.

Fire brigade officers were forced to use bolt cutters to free a Darwin man's penis from a 19mm ring spanner, officials confirmed yesterday.

The man arrived at Royal Darwin Hospital in considerable pain on Monday night, a police spokesman said yesterday.

The man had apparently spent several hours at home trying to free himself, but was unsuccessful due to increasing swelling.

After several fruitless attempts to free himself from the vice-like spanner, doctors turned to the Casuarina Fire Brigade.

By this stage, the swelling of the man's member was so extreme that fire brigade officers were forced to use bolt cutters to hack the spanner off.

Police say the man was not seriously injured in the incident, but the spanner was a complete write-off.

A fire brigade officer who declined to be named, said yesterday that the fire officer who wielded the bolt cutters had been given a new nickname... Lord of the Rings.
