Man gets stuck in rubbish chute when escaping his girlfriend

A Russian man's plan to escape having an argument his girlfriend turned out to be a bit rubbish after he became stuck in a garbage chute.

Emergency services had to be called to rescue the unidentified man following his desperate attempt to flee from this partner. Residents in an apartment block in Tyumen, Siberia, heard the 31-year-old's screams after he became trapped in the ultra-tight space.

The tenant plummeted three floors after jumping down the rubbish chute from his apartment on the eighth floor of the tower block. His cries of help prompted the arrival of local emergency services who proceeded to cut him free from his strange predicament.

'According to the 31-year-old victim, he jumped into the metal chute on the eighth floor to escape his girlfriend,' a local emergency service's statement read. Very little detail has been released about the incident and it is, as of yet, unclear what drove the man to jump down the chute.

Fire services were called out to deal with a similarly bizarre incident in the same city a few years ago.
