Drama in Borough Park: A Woman was Trapped in a Store Overnight
A woman was trapped overnight in a closed store. The “Shomrim” answered her call for help but the store owner could not be found.
The woman was unintentionally trapped in the store because no one knew she was there when the store owner locked up the shop, and she was stuck inside behind locked shutters and a heavily bolted door.
After a while, when she saw she would be locked in overnight, she tried banging on the window and to open the doors, but to no avail.
The incident could have ended in another way entirely, but it was solved in the end when passers-by heard her cries and discovered her predicament; they called for help to the Chevras “Shomrim.” They first tried to locate the store owner, but since it was taking a very long time, they tried to forcibly break into the store. However, the store was protected very well and they couldn’t break in. Only after a long time the store owner arrived and opened the doors, let the trapped woman out, and apologized to her. In Borough Park they concluded the story: “Hakol b’mekomo ba b’shalom”—a happy ending.
