ROBINSON TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Firefighters had to free a woman who got her hand stuck in an ATM at a bank in Robinson Township, Allegheny County.

Township Police Chief Dale Vietmeier told Channel 4 Action News that the incident happened around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday at First Commonwealth Bank on Park Manor Drive.

Erica Williams, of McDonald, told police that she tried to get money out but only got a receipt and her fingers got caught in the rollers, trapping her hand.

Moon Run firefighters responded and had to break open the machine to free Williams, said Vietmeier.

The rescue was the fire department's second strange call in less than a year.

In December, Moon Run firefighters freed a toddler who climbed into a toy machine at the Mall at Robinson. Fire crews on that case said the girl was not hurt and "seemed to be enjoying herself."

I'm not sure how I can get my fingers stuck in the rollers of an ATM machine, but I'd be pretty irritated if it only gave me a receipt and not the cash. Poking at the card slot isn't going to result in money though.

wtf? atm rollers roll OUT.. not in.

this isn't even physically possible, unless she tried shoving her meat hooks into the mechanism

If the ATM takes cash deposits they roll in too, it's possible even though they wouldn't take deposits at a MCD that they have one of the newer ATM's that has the capability.

That's just the publicized version of it to save face. What actually happened when help arrived:

"Ma'am, are you still holding the cash?"

"Yes."

"Let go of it."

<hand comes out easily>

Lol. Was just thinking of that clip when I read this. Rule #35. If it happens in life, there's a Simpsons joke about it.

Probably got her fingernails caught or pinched in the rollers.
