An elderly man in Cairns, Australia got stuck to a toilet after pranksters caked the seat with superglue.
The incident occurred in the public conveniences of a shopping centre.
Ambulance staff had to carry the victim - still attached to the toilet - out of the precinct, in full view of shoppers. He was then taken to hospital, where industrial-strength solvents were reportedly used to free him from the unexpectedly adhesive apparatus.
According to http://www.cairns.com.au/, it was the second case of a strong, fast-acting glue being smeared on a seat in the same men's toilets that day. In the earlier incident the man had been able to get up before the glue set.
A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said the elderly man, who did not want to be identified, was "pretty distressed about the whole thing".
Cairns Police District's Superintendent Brent Carter has appealed for public help to identify the culprit.
"The humiliation of sitting on a toilet while emergency services are working around you trying to free you…I just feel for the man," said Carter. "Then to have to be wheeled out of the shopping centre with the toilet frame still attached to your body is just dreadful."
my thoughts
always check the seat before ya go potty:D:p
