Man's trousers fall down as he accepts award from Croatian president

A HUMAN rights activist was left red faced when his trousers fell down in front of the president of Croatia.

Ivan Zvonimir Cicak was receiving an award from Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic when the wardrobe malfunction struck and he flashed his underpants.

His slacks disappeared from around his waist and ended up being slumped around his ankles during the prestigious event.

Luckily for Cicak – who is head of the Croatian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights – President Grabar-Kitarovic was holding a large award that helped preserve his dignity.
