Police in Maryland are on the hunt for the perpetrator of what appears to be an April Fools' Day prank that left a man glued to a toilet at a Wal-Mart store.

If caught, the jokester who doused the seat with glue at the Elkton Wal-Mart on March 31 could face second-degree assault charges, said Lt. Matthew Donnelly of the Elkton Police Department.

Police, along with the Singerly Fire Co. and the Cecil County paramedics, were called to the scene at about 7 p.m.

There, they found the 48-year-old victim, who called for help after realizing the sticky situation he was in when he tried -- and failed -- to stand up and leave the superstore's restroom, Donnelly said.

It took responders 15 minutes to remove the victim from the stall, but they were unable to disconnect the toilet seat from his body, Donnelly said.

Instead, the victim was taken to Union Hospital of Cecil County, where the seat was detached. He left with only minor injuries to his buttocks, Donnelly said.

Police do not suspect that the victim was specifically targeted, but that the incident was a random prank, Donnelly said. They have not received reports of glue-laden toilet seats since.

I've heard of this before.

Cruel prank.

Sounds like someone got butt hurt

Boy, this country sure is going down the crapper

I do everything I can to avoid taking a shit in a public bathroom. No way I would sit on a toilet in Walmart.

Bare ass on a Wal-mart crapper? Yikes

Didn't this man LOOK at the toilet before he sat down?! It's a good idea to look at the seat in a public bathroom before you sit down...people seem to enjoy peeing and pooping on them, especially at walmart.

You'd think he'd see some kind of wet, shiny substance on the rim and he'd say "oh I don't want to sit in that."

THIS. Seriously. And since the type of glues that wouldn't necessarily be visable tend to dry instantly, surely there had to be some sort of visable goo on the seat. Did he just not notice? Not care? Did he think, perhaps, "there's some sort of clear goo all over the toilet seat - I bet it'll be good for my skin"?

Didn't someone do this themselves before and tried to sue the store?

Or, after you sat on it you might think, "hmm...why is this seat all slimy? I think I'll stand up immediately rather than just go with it and find out after I'm finished."

Wal-mart? cmon, of all places... that would be the most necessary for an ass-gasket.

The last time I took a crap in a store was at kmart and they had toilet seat covers. I'd never crap in a public bathroom without one unless I was about to shit my pants, even then I'd cover it with tp or hover.

And I am justified once again in my decision to never use public restrooms when I have to shit.

Me too but shitting my pants isn't one of the alternatives.
