A man claimed in court on Sunday that he was joking when he shoved an air compressor’s pipe in his workmate’s rectum from over his clothes when they were working. The 29-year-old Bangladeshi cleaner was said to have been tidying and suddenly decided to joke with the 46-year-old Indian when he pushed the pipe up his friend’s rectum which was switched on. Prosecutors accused the defendant of assaulting the Indian and causing him permanent disability.
