FIRE crews were called to a farm in Aldreth on Monday to help free a man who had became stuck in a potato harvester.
A crew from Sutton and a rescue vehicle from Cambridge were called at about 6pm to a farm on High Street in the village to find a man had got his arm wedged into the machine.
Firefighters managed to free the man by about 6.40pm and he was treated at the scene by ambulance crews.
