Sacha Baron Cohen Comedian

NOW MOSTLY HANDLED

"We had to keep steering around it" - Petra, checkout supervisor

Existence confidence provisional
A generated photo of an anonymous stranger. It is not the person named.
Sacha Baron Cohen stands at a vintage arcade game in a closed boardwalk arcade in New Jersey, adopting the exaggerated posture of a fictional gambler character, one hand raised as if about to speak to the machine.
Location
The customer service desk of a Spar near Kitzbühel, partially embedded in the corrugated metal storage cage
Currently
Attempting minor conversational remarks from inside the trolley, mostly ignored
Last confirmed sighting
Thursday, attempting to introduce itself to frozen vegetables
Observations
Can still produce three distinct accents simultaneously, though only the trolley squeaks reliably in response.

Sacha Baron Cohen was discovered last Tuesday wedged into a shopping trolley with a severely wonky wheel at the Spar supermarket near Kitzbühel, Austria. The trolley had apparently been abandoned near the ski-lift queue. He remains present in this configuration, somewhat muffled but still clearly audible.

"He kept trying to get us to react, you know, doing different voices and asking us questions about ourselves," said Harald, the store's night-shift floor supervisor. "But everyone just wanted their shopping. The wheel was making such a noise that nobody could hear half of what he was saying anyway."

He is currently attempting to establish a believable character narrative while lodged in the trolley, but the wonky wheel's incessant rattling undermines most conversational development. Witness accounts suggest his commitment to the premise remains absolute, though his audience retention is poor.

Guidance for the public

Do not attempt to retrieve items from the trolley whilst Cohen remains operational within it.
