Woman Rescued After Being Stuck In Paterson Clothing Bin: Report

PATERSON, NJ - Authorities rescued a woman who was trapped inside a clothing donation bin in Paterson for an entire weekend, according to a report.

The 38-year-old woman was rescued on Monday morning after being stuck in the bin behind a Broadway apartment complex since Friday night, NBC 4 reported. She told police she was reaching into the bin when someone pushed her, causing her to remain trapped until a person walking by heard her yelling for help and called 911, the report said.

However, authorities say her story of how she became stuck may not be true since this is the third time in two years that the "seemingly homeless" woman was rescued from inside of a clothing bin.

NBC also reported that she was taken to St. Joseph's Medical Center for treatment of frostbite after being rescued.

Additional information was not immediately available from Paterson Police on Tuesday morning.
