A taxi driver ended up well and truly stuck in China after a drunk persuaded him to drive down a steep mountain stairway.
Cabbie Xiao Cheng ended up stuck halfway down the steps in Quanzhou, southern China's Fujian province, at 5am.
"He insisted on driving directly down the mountain stairs, as he said his home was down there," said Xiao.
"You can't imagine how scared I was but the man, who had a long scar on his arm, threatened to beat me up if I didn't do as he said."
Xiao tried driving cautiously down the stairway, knowing there was a river at the bottom, but his vehicle got stuck on the steps halfway down.
"Even then he accused me of not taking him to his destination, and demanded compensation. I had to give him all my takings then he ran off and left me there."
Residents tried to help Xiao free his car with jacks and bricks - but it was too dangerous and eventually a crane had to be brought in to lift the cab to safety.
