A man accidentally dialled 911 during a drug-deal – after he forgot to lock his phone.

The Pennsylvania resident, Justin Kryzanowski, patched through the call to emergency services in the middle of the illegal transaction.

Police services listened to the entire deal happening, and traced the cellphone back to Kryzanowski’s home.

The 24-year old’s house was raided and drug-related substances were found.
