A MAN has died after being trapped by a “telescopic urinal” in the West End.

Pop-up toilets are stored beneath the ground and brought to street level at night for people to use.

Police were called at around 1.10pm today (Friday) to a seriously injured man who had been “crushed” by the loo in Cambridge Circus, Soho.

The man, who was working on the loo, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Metropolitan Police said: “The man is thought to have sustained crush injuries while working on a ‘telescopic urinal’ at the location.”

The London Fire Brigade are on the scene and the air ambulance landed in Leicester Square.
