Hospital staff in Britain acted swiftly after a man arrived at their emergency ward with a World War II-era munition stuck in his rectum.
Police and army experts were called, but medics removed the object safely before they arrived, says police in Gloucestershire.
Police said in a statement, “Police attended Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on Wednesday morning (December 1) after a report that a patient had presented with a munition in his rectum.”
“The item had been removed prior to police arrival and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team were contacted.
“They attended and confirmed it was not live and therefore not a danger to the public.”
An army spokesperson added: “We can confirm an Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team was called out to Gloucestershire at the request of local police.”
