US woman swallows mobile phone to put an end to row

A woman's row with her boyfriend about a mobile phone suddenly went quiet - when she swallowed the handset whole, writes BBC news.

Police in Blue Springs, Missouri, said they were called out by a man who said his girlfriend was having trouble breathing. When they arrived at the house, they found a phone lodged in her throat.

"He wanted the phone and she wouldn't give it to him, so she attempted to swallow it," an officer said. The woman was expected to make a full recovery.

The 24-year-old woman was taken to hospital in Blue Springs. "She just put the entire phone in her mouth so he couldn't get it," said Det Sgt Steve Decker.
