Floriduh: Stuffed Buffalo Head Traps Man In Chair
2010-06-14
ISLAMADORA, Fla. -- A man was rescued Friday morning after a stuffed water buffalo head fell on him and pinned him in a recliner at an Islamorada home, police told Miami TV station WPLG.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office said the man called 911 at 1:20 a.m., yelling his address and saying he was trapped.

"You need an ambulance?" the 911 dispatcher asked.

"I'm crushed," the man said.

"You're crushed. OK, they're on their way, sir, OK?" the dispatcher said.

The man can then be heard groaning later in the recording released by the sheriff's office.

"Boy, this is a problem," the man said.

The sheriff's office said the man had been asleep in the recliner when the stuffed water buffalo head that was hanging on the wall fell onto his lap, pinning him in the chair. The man's cell phone was close enough for him to reach it and call for help.

The man was freed and taken to a hospital for treatment
