Man pinned to chair by buffalo head

KEY WEST, Fla., June 11 (UPI) -- Authorities in Florida said deputies were called to a man's home to free him from beneath a large animal head that fell from his wall.

Monroe County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Becky Herrin said the man, whose name was not released, was able to call 911 on his cellphone at about 1:20 a.m. after a stuffed water buffalo's head fell and pinned him to his recliner, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Friday.

"All the male caller could do is yell his address and tell them he was 'crushed,'" Herrin said.

Deputies arrived and lifted the head from the man. He was taken to Mariner's Hospital with minor injuries and released.
