Man found glued to steel toilet | Man found glued to steel toilet |
(10 minutes later) | |
| A man had to be taken to hospital still attached to a steel toilet after super-glue was deliberately smeared on the seat. |
Firefighters were unable to free the man and were forced to remove the entire toilet with the man attached. | |
The 35-year-old was in a public toilet cubicle in Brierley Hill in the West Midlands when he became stuck. | |
He was taken to hospital where doctors were forced to get into the ambulance before using chemicals to free him. | |
Toilet re-installed | |
An ambulance service spokesman said: "He appeared to be none the worse for his ordeal other than being understandably somewhat embarrassed." | |
It is thought the glue had been smeared on the toilet seat by a prankster. | |
An ambulance crew and a rapid response vehicle attended the scene just before midday but they were unable to free the man. | |
"With the help of a local authority and the fire and rescue service, the man was removed from the cubicle still attached to the stainless steel toilet," the spokesman said. | |
The toilet was later taken back to the public convenience and re-installed. |
