A boy had to be freed by firefighters after getting his arm
stuck in his cinema seat.
The seven-year-old, who has not been named, was watching Astro
Boy at the Cineworld cinema in Medway Valley Park, on Saturday,
when he got his arm wedged in the cup holder attached to his
seat.
He was watching the film with his neighbour and their children
and got stuck around halfway through the film - but didn't tell
anyone about his predicament until the credits started to roll.
A member of cinema staff found some baby oil and greased the
boy's arm to try to ease it out, but firefighters had to be called
in to cut him free.
A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue Service said: "It was an
unusual job. While we were talking to him he revealed that he'd got
it stuck halfway through the film, but didn't tell anyone as he
thought he'd be able to get his arm out by the end of the movie and
didn't want to get into any trouble.
"His arm was stuck right in the holder up to his bicep."
