Here’s one way to get a buffalo head without hunting.
A man had to be rescued after a large animal head hanging on a wall fell on him early Friday, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said.
Deputies found the man pinned in his recliner by a stuffed water buffalo’s head, Sheriff’s spokeswoman Becky Herrin said, reports the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
The unidentified man was taken to Mariner’s Hospital. His condition was not immediately available.
Herrin said the man had apparently fallen asleep at his residence at Mile Marker 88 of U.S. 1 when the head fell into his lap at about 1:20 a.m.
The man couldn’t move, but he managed to reach his cell phone and call 911, Herrin said.
“All the male caller could do is yell his address and tell them he was ‘crushed,’ ” Herrin said in a statement.
