Naked man gets stuck in washing machine

Anaked Australian man was left red- faced after getting stuck in a washing machine during a game of hide and seek, after police had to grease him up with olive oil to get him out.

The man clambered into the top- loader machine on Saturday afternoon in his unit north of Melbourne, aiming to surprise his girlfriend when she got home.

But he became wedged, sparking a delicate rescue effort.

“He was trying to surprise his missus and became stuck,” Sergeant Tim Gleeson told the Herald Sun after police, firefighters, paramedics, and a local search and rescue squad used olive oil to manoeuvre the man out of his predicament.

Game gone wrong

“They greased him up until he was free,” Sgt Gleeson added.

“It was just a game gone wrong. It would be fair to say the gentleman was very embarrassed,” added Sergeant Michelle De Araugo.

Few details were revealed about the man, with some reports saying he was 20 years old. Another officer cautioned against misusing household equipment.

“My advice would be for people not to climb into appliances — obviously that [ can] cause a number of issues, as we’ve seen on the weekend,” the Australian Broadcasting Corporation quoted First Constable Luke Ingram as saying.

The incident is similar to the story of an 11- year- old American girl that went viral on the weekend.

The girl was trapped in a washing machine for 90 minutes while playing hide and seek with her cousins at her home in Salt Lake City, Utah.
