(Web Desk) – An internet self-proclaimed prankster’s latest prank needed a hand from firefighters after he cemented his head in a microwave.
According to BBC, the West Midlands Fire Service were called to a house in Wolverhampton after the prankster’s prank went a bit too far. The firefighters took an hour to set the man free from a microwave which was cemented to his head.
The 22-year-old’s friends managed to feed an air tube into his mouth to help him breath, the service stated.
Shaun Dakin, watch commander said the man could easily have suffocated or suffered a serious injury.
"He and a group of friends had mixed seven bags of Polyfilla which they then poured around his head, which was protected by a plastic bag inside the microwave."

"The oven was being used as a mould and wasn’t plugged in. The mixture quickly set hard and, by the time we were called, they’d already been trying to free him for an hour and a half," he added.
Crews from the technical rescue team helped with taking the microwave apart, he added.
"It took us nearly an hour to free him," added Dakin.
Dakin said that while all those involved were very apologetic, but the situation was one which could have prevented them from helping someone in genuine, accidental need.
