DBAHO Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 A CHERRY picker has been used to remove an obese man trapped in his third-floor inner Sydney apartment and take him to hospital. Ambulance officers were called to the Waterloo apartment this evening to assist the critically ill man, an ambulance spokeswoman said. In a joint effort, officers from three emergency services worked for several hours to free the man, who reportedly weighed more than 300kg. Radio reports said a cherry picker was used to lift the man out of the apartment and into a truck-style ambulance. "Multi ambulance resources were dispatched to a unit block in Waterloo this evening to a seriously ill man," an ambulance spokeswoman said. "It was a long and difficult extrication which included the resources of ambulance, police and fire brigade to get him out." The man, believed to be 30 years old, was taken to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in a critical condition. It was not immediately known what he was suffering from.
