A MAN was left red faced after he became stuck in his front door -- and had to be rescued by firefighters.

The resident, aged in his 20s, had forgotten the keys to the property in Church Street West, Radcliffe, and forced a panel of the door to enter.

However, he became stuck in the opening and residents alerted the fire service at 3pm on Saturday.

A fire crew released him by removing door panels. He suffered bruising to his midriff.
