A 35 year old man had to be removed from a toilet by emergency services after he became glued to the seat. Pranksters had covered the seat in superglue, leaving the man stuck to the seat in a public lavatory in Brierley Hill, near Dudley.

All efforts to free him at the scene failed. The seat was then cut free from the toilet and the man was taken to hospital with it still attached.

An ambulance service spokesman explained: “The man was using the facilities when he became stuck on the seat. It appears as though someone had left glue on it. Despite best efforts it was not possible to remove the 35-year-old local man from his position so, 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.”

At the hospital, doctors used special chemicals to free him unhurt.

“He appeared to be none the worse for his ordeal,” a spokesman at hospital said, “other than being understandably somewhat embarrassed.”
