It took a big effort to pull him out (Picture: Facebook/Mark Graves)

Sometimes in life you have days where everything goes perfectly and you end up feeling like a superhero.

Then there are the times when you try to hurdle the gates in the London Underground and get your genitals stuck in the barriers.

Towns and cities across northern England and Wales to face new restrictions this weekend

Hilariously, that’s exactly what happened to this young man when he apparently tried to jump over the barriers to avoid paying.

It left him in an extremely compromising position and a lot of pain – and needing police officers and Transport for London workers to pull him out.


The man was left yelling in pain after the unfortunate incident.

But not everyone was feeling sympathetic, as cheeky TfL workers decided to film him during the horrendously embarrassing public moment.



The video was posted on Facebook by Mark Graves, who wrote: ‘This guy tried to jump the gates and got his manhood stuck.’

'Talented' police officer shot dead in Croydon station named as Sgt Matt Ratana, 54

Filmed at Covent Garden Tube station, the clip shows officers supporting the man’s legs and trying to ease him out.

In the meantime, a crowd of onlookers have gathered, with one helpfully shouting: ‘Get some butter, butter him up.’

Eventually, the man is rescued, and can be seen leaning on a police officer for support as he tentatively gets to his feet.

He also gives another man who stopped to help a big hug to say thanks.

Always pay your fares, kids.
