A naked woman with her legs bound was lifted out of a storm drain by police after a man heard her crying for help.
A man heard a low-pitched voice calling out as he left a nearby grill restaurant at around 2.30pm on Wednesday in Fort Myers, Florida.
At the bottom of the pipe he saw a naked woman, with her legs fastened together by straps - calling out to be rescued, NBC2 reports.
Emergency crews responded, removing the heavy metal grate covering the drain with specialised tools, and lifting the woman onto the street.
Responders treated the woman at the scene, but she was uncooperative and wouldn't provide further details to police, the outlet reports.
Cops confirmed she was a homeless woman seen at a local Travelodge last month.
Staff at the motel said they didn't recognise a photo of the victim.
Mystery still surrounds the bizarre incident with witnesses saying no one ends up in bound in a drain by themselves
“Someone doesn’t just bound themselves and climb in there,” witness Tim Brown told NBC2.
“I just told my girlfriend, she’s no longer walking through her by herself,” he added.
“So yeah, that’s scary. It’s very scary.”
