A man in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, will be leaving someone bad vendor feedback after he was forced to call firefighters to cut him free from a pair of faulty handcuffs bought online.

Nanzheng county fire officials said that the man, surnamed Li, was quite embarrassed after it took a team of firefighters and a high-powered grinder to cut through the cuffs on September 27.

Li, who is fond of police equipment, told authorities that he became trapped after finding the key to his off-the-cuff purchase didn't work. 

While no charges have been pressed, police explain it is illegal to purchase replicas of police equipment of any kind.

Local authorities are currently attempting to trace the source of the handcuffs as private sales are illegal.
