As people were still using the cash machine to withdraw money, he chose to send notes through the receipt slot, which said: "Please help".

A man became trapped in an ATM service room in Corpus Cristi, Texas, without his phone on Wednesday.

"We have a once in a lifetime situation that you will probably never see or hear again", Corpus Christi Police Senior Officer Richard Olden told KRIS TV.

The man slipped notes stating, "Please Help".

He passed "help me" notes through the receipt slot of the machine. So to try and get out, he started slipping notes to the customers through the machine.

While the bank is closed, the ATM is still open, so customers were driving by and using the machine to take out cash. "I'm stuck in here". "Please call my boss", one note read.

Some people thought it was a joke, but thankfully, someone finally called police. "It's got to be a joke", he told KrisTV. So we are thinking this is a joke.

In total, the contractor was stuck for two house before his boss arrived, although officers had to resort to kicking the man down to get him free.

And the attending officers" disbelief soon disappeared when they heard a "little voice' coming from the machine.

"It was just insane", senior officer Richard Olden told KZTV.
