The 10-year-old became stuck as he climbed over fibreglass rocks at Juniper Green primary school in Edinburgh.

A crew from Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service arrived shortly before 11am today and used hydraulic spreaders to release him.

A spokeswoman for the service said an ambulance had taken the boy to hospital to have his knee X-rayed.
