Firefighters cut through steel bars of sewer grate to free girl's leg

GUIGANG, China, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Chinese firefighters had to saw through the steel bars of a sewer cover to free a young girl whose leg became stuck in the grate.

A video of the rescue in Guigang, Guangxi Province, shows firefighters attempting to remove the girl's leg, which is trapped above the knee between the bars.

The rescuers determine the girl's leg is too stuck to pull out, so they brandish a power saw to cut through the steel bars.

Firefighters said the rescue lasted about a dozen minutes and the girl did not suffer any serious injuries.
