Photos: Man rescued after he became trapped in his washing machine for hours

A young man has found himself in a bizarre and embarrassing situation after his legs became trapped in his washing machine for over three hours.

The 22-year-old became firmly lodged up to his waist in the top loader on July 26, at his home in Lakemba in Sydney's west. 

'This job was interesting as the crew had not performed a washing machine rescue before...' NSW Fire and Rescue posted to their Facebook page on Monday.
