Cell phone in toilet makes it flush hour
Daily News, 10/31
A man riding a Metro-North train dropped his cell phone in a toilet and got his arm stuck trying to retrieve it Thursday, forcing the train to stop and delaying the evening commute for thousands of people.
Edwin Gallart, 41, of the Bronx, was stuck with his arm in the toilet for 90 minutes, The Advocate of Stamford reported in Friday’s editions.
“A customer aboard the train contacted the conductor to say there was a customer in the toilet in distress,” Metro-North spokesman Dan Brucker said. “Soon our entire Hudson Line was in distress.”
Gallart’s arm was removed and he was treated and released from a Fordham-area hospital, Brucker said. His cell phone wasn’t retrieved.
The railroad’s maintenance department estimated the toilet would take two days and “several thousand dollars” to fix, Brucker said.
"When this moron's arm went down the crapper, so did our evening commute," Metro-North spokesman Dan Brucker said.
