A Polish farmer is facing jail after he drove his two ton tractor down a set of stairs in a drunken bet.

Tomasz Jankowski, 45, tried to drive his tractor down the city centre steps in the middle of a town square in Tczew in north west Poland after drinking with friends.

He said: "After a few vodkas the staircase seemed a lot wider than it really was and nowhere near as steep."

But the vehicle got jammed and he fled - only to be caught by police an hour later back in the pub after witnesses gave cops a description.

He was arrested and charged with damaging public property and drunk driving after a breath test showed he was two times over the legal drink driving limit.
