    A man had to be rescued today when he got stuck in public toilets in Knaresborough.

    Firefighters were called to the toilets at York Place car park at 4.46pm this afternoon.

    The circumstances surrounding the incident are not known.

    North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident report gave only brief details. It said:

    "A crew from Knaresborough released a male, unharmed, from a public toilet block, using a door enforcer."


    The public toilets at York Place are operated by North Yorkshire Council.
