Thousands of New York commuters were stranded after a man's arm became wedged down a train toilet as he tried to retrieve his mobile phone.

Rescue crews had to dismantle the toilet with Edwin Gallart's arm still stuck in the u-bend.

The train was held at New York City's Grand Central Station, which caused severe delays throughout the rail system.

Rail company Metro-North Railroad may seek damages from Mr Gallart, 41, to cover the costs incurred.

6. Attention terrorists!!!

Next time you want to bring NYC to it's knees, simply shove your arm down a toilet.

Of course, slamming airplanes into buildings is a lot safer to your individual health.

7. He may be pretty stupid for

for 'fishing' in a public toilet in the first place, but he's knows how to handle the press.

At Gallart's home in Wakefield yesterday, a woman opened the front door and tossed a foul-smelling brown liquid at reporters outside.
