A man has been rescued by firemen after getting stuck in a public toilet.
Cato Berntsen Larsen climbed into the toilet in an attempt to rescue a phone that his friend had dropped while using the toilet.
The 20-year-old dived in feet-first and stood thigh-deep in the contents of the toilet for over an hour as he waited for help.
“I was obviously slim enough to get into it, but not slim enough to get out. I was down there for one hour, and it was very unpleasant”, Mr Larsen told Drammens Tidende.
The toilet is not connected to the sewer and has a tank that sits underneath which is cleared out once a year.
“It was disgusting as hell. The worst thing I have ever experienced. Animals were down there too. I will never enter a toilet again. Now my body hurts, and I will go home and get some rest”, he said to VG.
Firefighters were forced to destroy the toilet to free Mr Larsen, who was unsuccessful in retrieving the phone.
He was treated at hospital for some injuries to his upper arms and several bites on his body.
