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 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.

There was incidents of this in Scotland about 15 years ago, really terrible to see the anguish on peoples faces been brought into A&E on a stretcher with the seat still glued to them at times. Although I must admit it did give us a few giggles afterwards. (nurses humour before anyone starts)
