And finally… ‘Prankster’ cements head in microwave, nearly dies
Reading time: 1 minute
A so-called prankster had to be saved by local firefighters after cementing his head inside a microwave.
The West Midlands Fire Service spent an hour working to release Jay Swingler who mixed seven bags of Polyfilla before his friends poured it around his head, which was protected by a plastic bag inside the appliance.
Their intention was to use the microwave as a mould.
But by the time emergency services were called at 1.49pm on Wednesday to the garage of a house in Fordhouses, Wolverhampton, the group had already been trying to free him for 90 minutes.

The friends had managed to feed an air tube into the man’s head to help him breathe.
A ten-minute YouTube video, hosted by Swingler’s TGFBros channel, shows emergency crews arriving at the property and using a screwdriver to chisel off the Polyfilla.

The incident has led to calls for Swingler to pay the costs of the hour-long call-out.
