A man who got his hand trapped in machinery at a wool processing plant in Bradford on Monday is expected to return to work shortly.

The Telegraph & Argus reported yesterday how the worker at Haworth Scouring, who has not been named, was taken to Bradford Royal Infirmary for treatment after being freed by firefighters on Monday. David Gisbourne, managing director of the firm, said the worker was treated for a minor burn and bruising and was released from hospital shortly afterwards. He added the man went into work yesterday to meet boses and would be back to work “shortly”.
