A man who accidentally fell into a huge pool of toxic tar has been rescued by passers-by in western Russia.
The 33-year-old man, who has not been named, was walking past an abandoned asphalt plant when he stumbled and fell into the thick, black liquid.
After failing to break free from the sticky trap, he started calling for help.
Luckily he was heard by some passers-by who raced to the scene and managed to pull him out of the pool of tar.
The Good Samaritans then called an ambulance and the victim was rushed to hospital.
A picture taken by paramedics shows the man covered from the top of his head to toes in tar after being rescued from the pool.
He can be seen lying on the grass as astonished medics reportedly prepare to load him into the ambulance.
Photos taken by medics in the city of Pavlovsk in Voronezh Oblast region show the man after he was admitted to a local hospital.
Medical staff had to use razors to remove the tar from the man's skin and spent several hours cleaning him up.
Doctors say his life is not in danger any more and he is able to walk.
The pool of tar appeared in the city a year ago after the local asphalt plant was shut down.
The tar together with other chemicals were just left near the abandoned plant and formed huge pools.
Local authorities promised to clean the area after the incident.
