Norway man rescued after climbing into public toilet
Firefighters in Norway have pulled a man from the inside of a toilet after he lowered himself in to retrieve a friend's phone and became stuck in the tank below.
Cato Berntsen Larsen climbed feet-first into the public facility after his friend dropped the phone while urinating.
Mr Berntsen Larsen said he had volunteered to enter the tank, which is not connected to the sewer and which is only emptied once a season.
The 20-year-old became sick as he stood thigh-deep in its contents, and had to spend an hour completely enclosed in the small area.
"I panicked because I hate confined spaces," he told Norwegian newspaper VG.
"It was damn disgusting - the worst I have experienced. There were animals down there too."
To make matters worse, Mr Berntsen Larsen quickly threw up after entering the tank, which was standing room only.
