A Texas man who found himself trapped inside a cash machine slipped "help me" notes through the receipt slot.
一个德州人被困在一个提款机里,于是他从收据槽里滑出一张纸条,写着“help me”。
The man, who police say was working on a renovation of the bank, left his phone in his vehicle before getting stuck in the drive-thru ATM’s vault.
警方说,这个人当时就在提款机里做一些维修工作,他的手机就放在了他的车里,而他被困在ATM的地下室里出不来了。
The unnamed workman was freed after shouting to ATM users, who continued withdrawing cash throughout his ordeal on Wednesday in Corpus Christi.
这名未透露姓名的工人一直在大喊,直到最后把他救了出来。
Police thought it a hoax before kicking in a door to withdraw him.
警方为了救他砸开了ATM机,他们本以为这是恶作剧。
"Sure enough, we can hear a little voice coming from the machine, so we’re all thinking this is a joke, it’s gotta be a joke," said police officer Richard Olden.
“我们很确定,我们听到的声音来自的机器里面,我们都认为这是一个恶作剧。”警官理查德奥尔登表示。
One handwritten note slipped by the trapped man to a customer said: "Please Help. I’m stuck in here, and I don’t have my phone. Please call my boss." The message included the employer’s phone number.
这名手被困男子向客户传了一张纸条,上面写着:“请帮帮我,我困在里面,我没有手机。请打电话给我的老板。”他还写上了老板的电话号码。
The man was freed after spending more than two hours inside the Bank of America machine.
这名男子两个多小时后才被救出来。
Officer Olden told local media: "Everyone is okay, but you will never see this in your life, that somebody was stuck in the ATM, it was just crazy."
奥尔登警官告诉当地媒体:“居然真的有人被困在ATM机里,这太不可思议了。”
