A PERSON got trapped in a public toilet in Waterford city centre last night, and had to be freed by firefighters with a ladder.

Emergency services were called to the toilet on the Quay – which has an automatic locking system – at around 6pm after someone got locked inside and couldn’t get out.

The fire crew managed to free the poor trapped person, after what is understood to have been a quick procedure to release the lock.

There were no injuries. Except, perhaps, to the person’s pride:
