Train delayed by passenger who fell asleep and got head stuck in armrest
A commuter delayed frustrated train passengers when he fell asleep across two seats and trapped his head in the armrest.
The bizarre incident was filmed on the Roca line in the eastern Argentine province of Buenos Aires on Monday.
The commuter, who has not been named in local media, was unable to wrench his head free after drifting off during his commute.
Images show his head sticking out into the aisle while other bemused travellers look on.
Despite twisting and turning, he was unable to squeeze his head back out from beneath the metal armrest.
The train was reportedly delayed for 20 minutes while the trapped train passenger was rescued.
Video of the incident was posted online by Juan Andres, who was on the train at the time.
He said the man was eventually freed from the armrest.
Social media users had a lot to say about the man’s unfortunate nap.
Many were amused by his predicament, with one person saying they ‘couldn’t stop laughing’ at Andres’ video.
Others were left baffled as to how the man got his head positioned beneath the tight metal armrest in the first place,
However, not everyone saw the funny side, with several saying they empathised with the commuters who were held up on the train.
One said: ‘Can you imagine arriving at work and being asked why you are late only to have to give that answer? You boss’ face would be like “are you screwing with me or what?”‘.
