A passenger waiting to board a plane in an airport terminal has been hospitalised with deep cuts on his leg and buttocks after he broke a toilet he was squatting on.

Passenger Jin Pai, 35, was standing on the rim of a toilet in Hefei Xinqiao International Airport in the city of Hefei, the capital city of eastern China's Anhui Province, when it smashed to the ground.

According to airport officials he had not wanted to let his bottom touch the seat because he was 'worried it might not be clean'.

But he was caught out when the porcelain toilet then tipped over and shattered on the floor, cutting the man in several places.

The injured man was found bleeding on the toilet floor after he had telephoned his travelling companions for help.

He had been too embarrassed to shout for help and had hoped they would assist but he was too badly hurt for anything other than an immediate trip to hospital.

Authorities and emergency personnel arrived to check the man into a Hefei hospital, where he received several dozens stitches on his left leg and buttocks.

The passenger reportedly confessed to his friends that he was squatting on the toilet, but later changed his story to the police, possibly to avoid paying compensation, and said he was sitting when the poorly built toilet gave way.

Authorities said they believed the incident was an accident.

Police spokesman Bo Chiang said: 'In any case, we would like to remind people that these toilets are for sitting on, not for standing on.'
