A DOZY prankster should have used his head after being freed by firefighters - because he cemented his head inside a microwave.

The 22-year-old and a group of pals mixed seven bags of Polyfilla before pouring it around his head, which was protected by a plastic bag inside the appliance.

The jokers wanted to use the microwave as a mould but they ended up having to call the fire brigade after spending 90 minutes frantically trying to free him.

They were filming the dozy prank for the TGFbro YouTube channel.

Luckily the pals had somehow fed an air tube in so the prankster could breathe but he still had to be given a makeshift airway by firefighters using a screwdriver.

Watch commander Shaun Dakin blasted the incident in Fordhouses, Wolverhampton, saying: "As funny as this sounds, this young man could quite easily have suffocated or have been seriously injured.”

He added: “Taking the microwave apart was tricky, because a lot of it was welded.

"We video-called our technical rescue colleagues for advice and eventually managed to get him unstuck.

"He was very relieved when we removed a large chunk of the Polyfilla with a screwdriver, allowing him to breathe more easily.

"But we had to be extremely careful with the screwdriver, working so closely to his head.

"It took us nearly an hour to free him. All of the group involved were very apologetic, but this was clearly a call-out which might have prevented us from helping someone else in genuine, accidental need."
