FIREfighters had to free a man after he was trapped for an hour under a gravestone.
The man was taking a short cut through Thorntree Cemetery, Middlesbrough, when he put his weight on the headstone and it toppled over on to his left leg, pinning him to the ground.
A group of children raised the alarm using a mobile telephone. An ambulanceman gave the man first aid, but he declined to go to hospital
