POLICE and firefighters are still shaking their heads over the antics of two highly intoxicated men at Mona Vale early yesterday morning, in which one of the men got locked in the boot of a Mercedes-Benz and had to be freed.

Police were patrolling Golf Ave about 2am, when they heard banging and shouting nearby.

They followed the sound and found a 47-year-old Mona Vale man standing near the vehicle, on top of which stood a bottle of tequila­.

Police found the banging and shouting were coming from the boot of the Mercedes-Benz, inside which was a 48-year-old Avalon man pleading to be let out.

The Mona Vale man outside the car did not have a key to the boot and was too drunk to make any sense when asked how the other man came to be in the boot.

The police tried to open the boot, but then called in firefighters, who jemmied it open so the trapped man could be released.

The pair were not the only ones to attract attention to themselves due to their level of intoxication this week.

At 4.30pm on Wednesday, a drunk Terrey Hills man, 56, fell out of a bus at a bus stop at Frenchs Forest.

He was taken to Mona Vale Hospital by ambulance because of his level of intoxication.
