A teenager was cut free from a children's swing by firefighters in Telford.
It happened off Princes End, Dawley Bank on Wednesday.

One fire engine was sent to the scene from Wellington.
Several teenagers in Shropshire have, over the last few years, had to be freed from children's swings after partaking in a TikTok craze.
A Shrewsbury Town Council boss criticised "irresponsible" teens after an incident resulting in the authority having to buy new play equipment for one of its parks in 2020.
