CHISLEHURST: Swollen finger spells end for wedding ring
8:11am Wednesday 10th March 2010
A DESPERATE husband was forced to call the emergency services this morning (March 10) after his wedding ring got stuck on his finger.
Firefighters from Bromley fire station were called to the man’s home in Holmbury Park, Chislehurst, at around 6.30am.
It is understood his wife had asked him to try on his wedding ring again after a period of not wearing the gold and platinum band but it immediately became stuck.
The ring was so tight that the man’s finger became swollen and so firefighters spent 15 minutes using specialist ring cutting equipment to remove the piece of jewellery.
The man did not require hospital treatment after his ordeal.
