(CNN) -- Police in Maryland are on the hunt for the perpetrator of what appears to be an April Fools' Day prank that left a man glued to a toilet at a Wal-Mart store.
If caught, the jokester who doused the seat with glue at the Elkton Wal-Mart on March 31 could face second-degree assault charges, said Lt. Matthew Donnelly of the Elkton Police Department.
Police, along with the Singerly Fire Co. and the Cecil County paramedics, were called to the scene at about 7 p.m.
There, they found the 48-year-old victim, who called for help after realizing the sticky situation he was in when he tried -- and failed -- to stand up and leave the superstore's restroom, Donnelly said.
It took responders 15 minutes to remove the victim from the stall, but they were unable to disconnect the toilet seat from his body, Donnelly said.
Instead, the victim was taken to Union Hospital of Cecil County, where the seat was detached. He left with only minor injuries to his buttocks, Donnelly said.
Police do not suspect that the victim was specifically targeted, but that the incident was a random prank, Donnelly said. They have not received reports of glue-laden toilet seats since.

* NewsPoems Take two:
Victim of a ruse
While dropping a deuce
The prankster left no clues
But your rear's in the news!
Oh what a mean feat
To spread glue on the seat
I bet it was not so neat
To feel his feet fall asleep.
How bad to be captive
where the odors are so active
The simple fact is
Don't go shopping on laxatives!
*Perplonked: I'd rather hold it until I get home than take a crap on a walmart toilet.
........LakewayJake "on"?? Hopefully you mean "in".
..........IrishYank LakewayJake - we're talking about Walmart. I think he/she meant "on" which is far better than most Walmart customers who usually practice "near".
*jibjibbity That's why I always crap in the unrinal
*TerrieBNL 1. You know the rescue team had to leave a couple of times to go laugh.
2. You know the doctors and nurses had to leave a couple of times to go laugh.
3. You know the doctors and nurses who laughed stopped laughing once they realized the guy did not get the opportunity to wipe his @$$.
*deepdigits: milk:$2
batteries:$4
explaining to your wife you are at the ER with a toilet seat glued to your butt: Priceless
You should NEVER sit your bare bottom down on a public toilet seat. Maybe this will teach the man, & others, a thing or two.
EXACTLY. Here at college I wipe the seat everytime before I sit down Especially after noticing that no one ever seems to walk out of the bathroom with their hands washed when I'm in there
This is why I don't #2 in public toilets. You should see the toilets at my high school. Pee is often on the seats, and occasionally you will find ****, ***, and pubic hair. (On the seat, not in the bowl!)
