Wellington – A New Zealand woman accidentally glued her lips together when she picked up a tube of super glue while reaching for her lipgloss in the dark, the Otago Daily Times newspaper reported on Friday.

Dunedin Police Senior Sergeant Steve Aitken said the emergency operator thought the woman might be gagged or suffering from a medical condition when she called for an ambulance shortly before midnight on Thursday.

“She could only grunt,” he said.

The 64-year-old woman was taken to Dunedin Hospital and is understood to have been released with her lips unstuck. – Sapa-dpa
