Firefighters were called to help free a child whose head had got stuck in a potty.

One crew of firefighters were sent to the home in Cannell Green, off Barrack Street in Norwich, just before 11.30am today.

The firefighters were at the scene until about 11.45am and a fire spokesman said they used 'small gear' to free the child.

The Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said that an ambulance was not required to attend.
