Flexible Toes Help Save Woman's Life
WILKINSBURG, Pa. (AP) The manager of a check-cashing store was bound and gagged by an armed robber but managed to free one of her legs and dial 911 using her toe.
The woman, whom police did not identify, was unlocking the doors to an ACE America's Cash Express office in suburban Pittsburgh on Monday morning when a man put a gun in her armpit and forced her into the store, Wilkinsburg police Lt. Todd Ruggiero said.
The man ordered her to open the safe and then led her to a back office, where he tied her up with phone cords and other items and gagged her with a scarf, Ruggiero said.
About an hour after the robbery, the woman managed to free one leg, somehow grabbed a telephone with her feet and used her toe to dial 911, police said.
She was freed after firefighters and paramedics got through a locked security door
