In an incident that would not seem out of place in a slapstick comedy, a police officer got stuck in handcuffs while showing new recruits how to use them.
The incident occurred in the United Kingdom (UK) when the Northamptonshire Police officer was demonstrating the use of the hinged handcuffs, according to news reports.
Scott Renwick, a core training sergeant with Northamptonshire Police, reportedly had to call the fire service after getting trapped in the faulty pair of handcuffs. He was forced to walk to the fire station, where firefighters used pedal cutters to free him.
The training sergeant thanked Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service for rescuing him from the cuffs and later tweeted a picture.
“Well that wasn’t a good start to the day. Thanks for cutting me out of some broken cuffs,” he wrote in Tweeter while sharing an image of the handcuffs.
The fire department also tweeted about the incident – which has become a source of amusement from Mr Renwick’s colleagues as well as Twitter users.
Scott Renwick, while not thrilled about the mishap, said he was happy that it made people smile. “If I put a smile on a single face during these difficult times my job is done,” he tweeted.

An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
