This might be the worst attempted jailbreak ever

El Chapo would not be impressed.

A Brazilian jailbird who tried to fly the coop through his cell’s small food hatch wearing nothing but his purple skivvies found himself stuck in the door, and at the mercy of firefighters called in to free him.

The suspected thief was slathered in sunflower oil to try to get him to slip through the tight enclosure.

When that didn’t work, he burst out in tears and screamed in frustration.

The firefighters at the police station in Balneário Piçarras, Santa Catarina, finally cut him free using power tools.

The far more slippery drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman infamously escaped from his Mexican cell in July 2015 by foiling security measures and burrowing through a tunnel.
