A MAN on a motorised scooter had to be rescued by firefighters after getting stuck in the mud.
Fire crews were called to Elms Close in Whitefield at around 11am yesterday (Friday).
The man, who was in his late 60s, was visiting a house he has bought but does not have the keys for yet.
He went round the back of the property on his scooter and became stuck in the mud and was unable to free himself.
Firefighters lifted him out of the chair, before releasing the vehicle and cleaning it.
