Officials on Long Island are offering a reward for information leading to the person or people responsible for dumping 27 rabbits by a Suffolk County train station.

The Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says it was notified last Sunday that a number of domestic rabbits were in the vicinity of the Ronkonkoma train station.

The SPCA and other animal welfare groups captured the bunnies, which don't have the skills to live in the wild on their own.

There is a $3,500 reward being offered.

An ice cream parlour is serving ketchup, mushy peas and Marmite-flavoured ice cream to offer customers a unique taste experience.

At Makcari's in Herne Bay, which has been going since 1931, the staff are serving the concoctions to willing customers and the creator, Nejmi Hassan, says the daring flavours are for "acquired tastes".

He told the Mirror newspaper: "They're an acquired taste. We hope to introduce a new flavour every month. We had them for sale over the weekend just gone, but we gave most of it away.

"I'm not saying because they tasted nice, but people were intrigued by ketchup and mushy pea-flavoured ice cream."

The mushy peas ice cream comes with a green swirl running throughout the cone, while the Marmite flavour comes complete with a slice of toast.

A man resorted to tweeting for help to get out of a massage chair after falling asleep and was later locked inside the building.

After dozing off in an electronics store in Japan, the man realised his mistake when he woke up to the dark room and decided to post the pictures on Twitter to his amused followers.

He tweeted: "Oh man, I'm locked in!"

He eventually triggered an alarm to notify police of his presence and after being searched by 10 officers to ensure he wasn't shoplifting, he was let go.

The manager of the store later apologised to the man for failing to notice him before locking up.
