An overweight man in UAE had to be 'rescued' from his home in Sharjah, using a crane.
Weighing at 300 kilograms, Sharjah Civil Defence had to use a crane to lift the 38-year-old out of his home so that he could be shifted to a hospital for treatment.
Colonel Sami Al Naqbi, Director of Sharjah Civil Defence, said the patient was removed from his bed through the window of his family apartment.
