Buenos Aires: A planned mass escape from an Argentine jail backfired spectacularly when a 102kg prisoner got stuck.
Roque Vivas got stuck in a 30cm hole dug in the ceiling by inmates of the prison at Rosario.
Five prisoners had already escaped but another 24 were waiting behind Vivas for their turn.
They ended up having to call prison guards to help their burly fellow convict "escape", reported Las Ultimas Noticias.
A prison spokesperson said: "It was the funniest thing I've ever seen.
"This fat man was stuck from the waist down and shaking his legs.
"Then all the other prisoners looking really p***ed off because he stopped them from escaping."
The five men who managed to escape are still on the run.
