An elderly lady in China who fell out of bed while asleep managed to get her leg stuck under a radiator and had to be rescued by firefighters... and the whole thing was caught on camera.

The video, filmed in Liaoning Province, China earlier this month, shows the rescuers pulling the woman, who is in her seventies, out of the awkward situation with specialist equipment.

According to local news, the lady only suffered a slightly swollen leg in the incident.

Falling off bed while asleep could be worse when also getting trapped by the heating.

A video emerged from Liaoning Province, China shows some fire fighters saving a woman in her seventies out of such awkward situation earlier this month.
