Student wakes up in 150ft crane

An Austrian student was woken up by construction workers in a crane cab 150ft above the ground with no recollection of how he got there.

Stefan Hohenwart, a 28-year-old from Graz, was driven home by the police after the drunken escapade but was not charged as no damage had been caused during the incident, Ananova reports.

A police spokesman said: "The construction workers turned up to start in the morning and the crane operator got quite a surprise when he went up and found the student snoring away in his cab.

"When our officers got there and get the man down he swore he had no idea how he got up there and just remembers leaving the pub and feeling very tired."

He added: "Going up 150 feet into the crane cab can be a risky undertaking at the best of times, let alone after a heavy drinking session. This man was very lucky he got up there safely."
