Naked woman with legs bound together rescued from Florida storm drain

A naked woman was rescued from a Florida storm drain after a bystander found her trapped inside — with her legs bound together, according to new reports. 

A man was leaving the India’s Grill on South Cleveland Avenue in Fort Myers shortly after 2:30 p.m. when he heard a low-pitched voice calling for help and spotted the nude woman inexplicably sitting at the bottom of the drain, NBC 2 reported

Her legs were fastened together with straps, according to the report. 

Fire officials removed a heavy metal grate covering the drain and lifted her out before treating her on scene, the outlet reported. 

She was uncooperative and would not disclose any further information to authorities.

Police confirmed she was a transient who stayed at a nearby Travelodge motel last month — but staff there did not recognize her photo, according to the local report. 

It remains a mystery how the woman ended up in the drain. 

“Someone doesn’t just bound themselves and climb in there,”  witness Tim Brown, who is also staying at the Travelodge motel, told the outlet. 

“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.”
