A BOY, aged 11, had to have a ring spanner cut from his left index finger.
Firefighters took an hour to free Jack Stephen James, from Great Lever, with an axe-saw.
After an hour of cutting, they eventually freed the middle index finger of the schoolboy's left hand.
Doctors at the Royal Bolton Hospital had been unable to free the boy yesterday morning.
