A six-year-old boy was injured when he became trapped in a revolving door at York racecourse.

Firefighters and an ambulance crew were called to the Knavesmire stand at the racecourse on Saturday night where the child had become trapped by his foot.

Firemen released the boy who was taken to hospital with a broken ankle.

A North Yorkshire Fire Service spokesman said: "Im sure it was very distressing for him, but we were there within four minutes of getting a call."

Are they going to set up a website and get millions of pounds to get revolving doors banned do you think?

Have you got a kid who likes pratting around with revolving doors?

You too can claim compensation...

*smashes head into wall.* Bloody compensation culture.

I got my finger trapped in a glass door when I was young, it now has a rather tuff nail on it that is, well disfigured from the rest of my nails.

It did cause me a lot of stress and blood loss and tears, I was only about 4 or 5 at the time and the Taxi driver didnt like all the blood all over his car but Im not about to go and claim comp.

Does anyone know if it was an electric of manual door, because I thought electric ones stopped when you jammed body parts in them (I tried this on several electric doors and they all stopped.  Albeit it put more pressure on my arms than a car electric window).

They are gradually getting more bans put in place anyway. They have the assumption that if its remotely dangerous then it should be banned. They miss the whole issue that on average getting up could be regarded as dangerous, but not as much as staying in bed!
