Man Trapped for 80 Hours in Portable Toilet
Updated: Tue, Jul 17 10:22 AM EDT

VIENNA (Reuters) - A man was trapped for more than three sweltering days in a portable toilet after fleeing from muggers, a newspaper said on Tuesday.

The 63-year-old victim's ordeal began on Wednesday when he was hit on the head and robbed by two men in Vienna, according to the Kurier.

The muggers then chased him through the streets until he spied the mobile lavatory and locked himself in.

But his assailants flipped the toilet over with the door face down so that he could not get out, the paper said.

"He screamed again and again for help and banged against the walls, but nobody heard him because it was on a very busy crossroads," a policeman was quoted as saying.

His traumatic experience ended on Sunday morning when the man managed to break open one of the vents and flag down a startled passer-by.

Kurier said temperatures inside the cramped plastic container must have soared well above the 86 degrees Fahrenheit heat outside during his 80-hour ordeal.

A police spokeswoman told Reuters she could not confirm the details of the man's story as he was still very confused.

"DVD trapped in CD-R Drive for 80 hours" wouldn't really be an interesting headline.

Bumped this up because I thought it was funny. and it goes with the current theme of things lately

[Craig Tucker]

No-one thought it was odd that a toilet was on it's side on a "very busy crossroads"

Just realised this is a 3 year old thread

What a terrible story. Very sad that this poor old man got mugged and then got trapped like that. I don't care how old this thread is, there is nothing "LOL" about it.

congrats on the 666 postcount 88888

yeah this is a pretty sad story, i feel sorry for the guy

couldve been someones grandfather

Something doesn't add up here. Being chased through the streets near a "busy" intersection? Nobody saw anything? Sreaming and banging at a busy intersection? What was this thing made of? Cement?

But his assailants flipped the toilet over with the door face down so that he could not get out, the paper said.

And there was no city municipality on hand that noticed a toilet "flipped over"... wouldn't flipping over this john have caused at least one water line to break ... causing 8 gallons per minute to spew over the intersection.

Something fishy

What aout porta-potties?

And thanks for the 666 notice free-styler! I am truly the beast.

[Doramius]

Yeah. porta potties are Chemical toilets and they may not be changed but once every week or so depending on it's use. This may have been near some sort of remote construction area that doesn't allow much use of the john. Now they usually don't smell 'spring time fresh' and I'm sure the guy had to answer nature's call a few times, so I'm doubting he was rosey parfumed when he was found.
