A cleaner had a lucky escape in the US when he was sucked into a sausage machine.
The man has taken to hospital after the incident in Danvers, Massachusetts, but is not believed to be seriously hurt, reports Salem News.
Police Lt Carole Germano said the victim was cleaning inside "a vacuum-type cylinder" that draws marinade into the meat.
Somehow, the machine was activated while the man was still inside and he got drawn underneath. His head and shoulders got stuck in the machine.
Lt Germano said the man had no obvious signs of trauma but was taken to the local Beverly Hospital to be checked out for any internal injuries.
Police said there was a language barrier and they do not know the victim's name or age. Health and safety officials are also investigating.
