A man who fell asleep in a university toilet in the UK called the cops to rescue him after he was locked overnight in the building.

The man had fallen asleep on the toilet in Manchester University's Sackville Street building in England.

When he woke up on February 15, he found he was locked in the building and called the police.

It is believed he was in the building the night before and passed out when he went into a cubicle.

Officers were sent to the scene to help him - but the man rang back before they arrived saying he had managed to get out and was now walking home.
 

"The man is not one of the homeless individuals known to police in the city centre so it is believed he was a student or other member of the public who became trapped," Greater Manchester Police Officer Mark Pickford told 'The Mirror'.

"A police response was allocated to attend but he then called back to say he had got out and was going home. We have been making these calls public to encourage people to think before they dial 999," Pickford said.
