JOHANNESBURG - A gang stripped a South African man before supergluing him to an exercise bicycle while they
ransacked his house, according to a report Thursday.
SAPA news agency said the attackers, dressed in suits, hijacked a man in his 50s and forced him at gunpoint to take
them to his home in Johannesburg.
"The victim was then forced to strip, after which he was superglued to the seat of an exercise bicycle, his hands were
superglued, as were his feet and then his mouth was superglued shut," SAPA quoted Mark Stokoe, a spokesman for
emergency services Netcare 911, as saying.
The man was rescued about three hours later when his partner arrived home, SAPA said.
South Africa is battling one of the world's highest crime rates .
A police spokesman could not immediately comment on the report. No one at Netcare 911 could be reached.
