The woodland creature poked his bonce through a hole, but then couldn’t wriggle free. A worried passenger alerted the RSPCA because they were concerned for the hapless animal. The animal charity then called in police, fire crews to help with the odd rescue. South Western Railway and Network Rail were also alerted. Firefighters used a ladder to climb up to the station roof in Farnborough Main station, Hampshire. They found the squirrel’s bottom and bushy tail sticking out the top. The crew were able to squeeze it out and release it back into the wild.
