OFFICERS from the Police Rescue Squad have freed a man who was found wedged head-first in a clothing bin in the inner-Sydney suburb of Surry Hills early today.
Police were approached at about 12.15 am (AEDT) by a resident who reported seeing a person apparently trapped in a St Vincent de Paul clothing donation bin in Belvoir Street.
Police said that when they arrived they found what at first glance appeared to be a woman wearing a tight mini-skirt trapped halfway inside the bin, hanging head-down inside.
A closer inspection revealed that it was a 35-year-old man from Glebe.
The two officers were unable to release the man and called in the Rescue Squad, and the man was freed a short time later.
