Elderly man 'superglued to toilet seat'

Elderly man 'superglued to toilet seat'

Rex Features

An elderly man in Australia was rescued by emergency workers after he sat on a toilet seat covered with superglue.

The episode occurred in a public toilet in a Cairns shopping center, while it was apparently the second of such an incident that day, MSNBC reports.

The first gentleman skirted being stuck after realizing the toilet seat had been caked with the strong adhesive and was able to get up before it had set. However, the second person had to be carried off by ambulance personnel in full view of shoppers, with the toilet seat still attached to his bottom.

He was taken to a local area hospital where industrial-strength solvents were used to remove him from the seat.

Cairn Police superintendent Brent Carter said: "The humiliation of sitting on a toilet while emergency services are working around you trying to free you… I just feel for the man.

"Then to have to be wheeled out of the shopping center with the toilet frame still attached to your body is just dreadful."
