WESTBURY, N.Y. (AP) — A man was pulled into an MRI machine in New York
after he walked into the room wearing a large chain necklace, police said.

The man, 61, had entered an MRI room while a scan was underway Wednesday afternoon at Nassau Open MRI. The machine’s strong magnetic force drew him
in by his metallic necklace, according to the Nassau County Police
Department.

Police said the incident “resulted in a medical episode” that left the man hospitalized in critical condition. Authorities did not release his name
and did not have an update on the man’s condition on Friday.

AP AUDIO: Man pulled into MRI machine after he walked into an exam room
wearing a chain necklace
AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on a man pulled into an MRI
machine.

A person who answered the phone at Nassau Open MRI on Long Island declined
to comment Friday.

MRI machines “employ a strong magnetic field” that “exerts very powerful forces on objects of iron, some steels, and other magnetizable objects,” according to the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and
Bioengineering, which says the units are “strong enough to fling a
wheelchair across the room.”
