VIDEO: Drunk tourist has to be rescued from underground rubbish bin
A drunk tourist had to be rescued by the emergency services from an underground waste container on Thursday, after being squeezed into the narrow opening by his friends as a joke, but then he couldn’t get out.
The incident happened shortly before 1am in the Plaza de Uncibay in Malaga, where his friends tried to pull him back out through the flap of the steel container, but he was trapped.
Witnesses at the scene, who could hardly believe their eyes, reported the incident to the Andalucía emergency control room, saying that the young man appeared to be injuring himself trying to get out of the container for organic waste.
Local Police, National Police officers and the fire brigade were mobilised and an ambulance was placed on alert. The option of cutting open the street container was considered before a group of staff from the cleaning services Limasa arrived when it was decided to dismantle the bin.
In the end, the young man, who was shirtless, emerged unharmed from his ordeal, albeit needing a shower!
