Man's bottom gets glued to toilet seat

A man became stuck to a toilet seat in a shopping centre after someone smeared it with fast-acting glue.

An ambulance was called to help the man, 58, after he was found stuck to the toilet seat on Saturday in a busy shopping mall.

Paramedics removed the seat from the toilet and took him to a hospital, where medical staff used industrial solvents to get it off.

Cairns local government official Di Forsyth said the man, who was not identified, was not injured but was "extremely embarrassed" by his experience.

Officials described it as a fast-acting adhesive glue.

They said it was a prank and described it as a sick joke.

Ms Forsyth said: "I'm disgusted that a gentlemen has had to go through that because someone thinks it's funny. It's a sick joke."
