Dublin Fire Brigade have warned of the dangers of keys snapping in locks after sharing images of a man with a bicycle lock locked around his own neck on their Twitter page.

Dublin Fire Brigade assisted in the removal of the lock after the key had snapped and reminded their Twitter followers of the dangers of keys breaking, even on good quality locks.
