WASHBURN-A Rochester N.Y. refrigeration serviceman was hospitalized at Presque Isle about midnight Monday after his left arm became badly mangled when it was caught in machinery at Taterstate Frozen Foods here, a company official said Tuesday.
Edmund J. Rollins, president of Taterstate, said Robert Jacobson, 36, was reported resting comfortably at A. R. Gould Memorial Hospital Tuesday. Jacobson's arm was injured. Rollins said, when his sleeve got caught in a pulley belt and Jacobson was pulled into the machinery.
Jacobson had been working on the machinery and was reaching behind a guard on the pulley belt, Rollins said.
First aid was administered at the plant, and then Jacobson was taken to the hospital and attended by Dr. Lewis MacDonald.
Jacobson is married and has three children.
