A man wearing a large chain necklace was pulled into an MRI machine in New York when he walked into the exam room, police said. The 61-year-old man had entered an MRI room while a scan was underway Wednesday afternoon at Nassau Open MRI. The strong magnetic force drew him into the machine 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. A person who answered the phone at Nassau Open MRI declined to comment.
