He was rushed to hospital with breathing difficulty

Saudi doctors saved a mentally retarded local man after he swallowed an unpeeled orange which settled inside his oesophagus.

The man, in his 20s, was rushed to hospital having breathing difficulty after swallowing the orange at his home in the southern Saudi town of Baha.

“Doctors managed to extract the orange out of his throat and saved his life without an operation,” Sabq Arabic language daily said.
