A LITTLE girl had to be rescued by firefighters after she got stuck in the toilet of a busy restaurant.

The girl, thought to be about six or seven, visited Caff Uno, Amersham, with her mother and sister. She became trapped after she went to the loo and the door lock got stuck.

Firefighters walked through the crowded restaurant at about 4.45pm on Tuesday after staff raised the alarm.

The restaurant manager explained: "I think the lock is a bit stiff on that door. The reason why we called the fire brigade is because she was a little girl. We didn't want to kick the door down. They were a really nice family. None of the customers noticed what was going on really - they just wondered what the fire brigade were doing here."
