Emergency crews from the Civil Defense in Al-Jouf were called in on Wednesday to free a 15-year-old boy's increasingly swollen finger from a ring. Officials were summoned after all attempts by the family proved fruitless and the teen's digit was subsequently released, reportedly without suffering any permanent damage. “They showed great skill in dealing with the issue,” said the teen's father. Officials noted that this was the fourth such case to occur in the last two months.
