Zeno Messis, 47, Horsham, who was released from the lift at around 3:18pm, thanked West Sussex Fire and Rescue and said he could not express his gratitude enough.

Eyewitnesses say they heard a loud bang before a glass panel shattered which automatically stopped the elevator.

However readers on Facebook Michelle Dewey and Catriona Findlay said that the glass panel was already shattered when they used the lift earlier on Thursday, and it had already been reported to Horsham District Council.

On Twitter Michelle Jones added: “They’ve got to be the most jinxed lifts in Horsham. Always something wrong with them.”
