WOOSTER, Ohio (AP) -- An 18-year-old who squeezed himself into a 4-foot by 2-foot safe at a Kmart was rescued by firefighters and a locksmith.

The teenager emerged short of breath and sweaty, but otherwise unharmed after at least 10 minutes inside.

The Wooster Fire Department received a call at 9:16 a.m. Saturday and had the teenager, whose name was not released, out by 9:25 a.m., Lt. Joe Linz said.

The teen and another 18-year-old, both Kmart employees, had been playing around, and he decided to see if he could fit in the safe, Linz said.

Employees attempted get him out by using a combination, but it wouldn't open, Linz said.

After firefighters called a locksmith and attempted to use pry bars to open it, the combination was tried again and it worked. The teenager refused to be transported to the hospital.
