A man is well on his way to minor internet stardom after he became intimately involved with a compost bin during a freak gardening accident.
It appears the man fell through the lid of the bin while standing on top of it to clear leaves from a gutter.
That much can be gleaned from a video posted to YouTube which has rapidly received more than 25,000 views - and the fact his name is Fred.
Rather than helping the hapless gardener, it appears his family got out their phones to film him and then stood around laughing.
Fred clearly sees the funny side of his almost three-minute struggle for freedom, which culminates in him lying down on the lawn and dragging himself out of the bin.
We've attempted to reach out to Fred to hear his side of the story. In the meantime, enjoy the video which is set to be one of this year's viral hits.
