Canadian pilot locked out of cockpit in midflight

With about twenty minutes left in his flight Saturday, a pilot on Air Canada Jazz Flight 8475 left the cockpit to use the washroom at the back of the Bombardier CRJ-100 jet, leaving the First Officer at the controls. A flight attendant also remained in the cockpit. When the pilot returned, he found the cockpit door either locked or stuck. After about a ten minute struggle, the crew was able to take the door off its hinges and the pilot was able to land the plane.
