FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue was on the scene of a workplace accident Wednesday afternoon that left a man hospitalized.

In a Facebook post, the rescue team said it responded to reports of a man trapped in a machine.  WSVN reports the incident took place at a tile business in the area of Southwest 21st Terrace and Southwest 10th Court.  A worker there got his fingers stuck inside the gears of a machine that fabricates large pavers while he was trying to clean it.
