THIS is the bizarre moment a little boy traps himself in a lift after weeing on the button panel and causing a power outage.

The lad from China’s south-western Chongqing Municipality was alone inside the elevator when he decided to shower the controls with a fountain of urine.

CCTV footage released by the management office of the residential tower where he lives shows him scouting around before beginning to relieve himself on the buttons next to the lift door.

In a matter of seconds, the electrical system starts to fail and the buttons on the panel begin to flash.

The boy is then left panicking as the lights flicker and go out, leaving him stranded inside the darkened lift car.

According to reports, the boy’s urine is believed to have entered the control panel square beneath the buttons, causing it to short-circuit and cut out entirely.

The mischievous child was saved by emergency services a few minutes later, but he refused to admit to urinating on the button panel.

The building’s management office said his parents also believe their son incapable of such a feat.

"He can’t pee that high," they were quoted as saying – until they saw the security footage.

The lift is still under maintenance, with the family expected to compensate for the damage caused by the boy.
