Handcuffed woman rescued from bed by firefighters

A 22-year-old woman was left red-faced when she had to call a fire crew to her bedroom because she was stuck in a pair of handcuffs. Firefighters raced to the embarrassed lady’s home in Northampton at 11.30pm on Sunday night — after her bedroom antics went wrong. They arrived to find the woman, who has not been named, shackled to the bed frame in a pair of ‘police-style’ cuffs.

And after being unable to locate the keys bolt cutters were used to free the woman. A spokesperson for Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “A 22-year-old woman was handcuffed to a bedstead with police style handcuffs. I imagine if it was anything more sinister then we would have requested the presence of the police and we did not.



“We have been called out to instances like this in the past and it’s normally embarrassing for both parties.” One neighbour of the young woman said: “I had a peek out of my window when I heard the fire engine pull up late at night. I couldn’t see any smoke or signs of a big fire so at first I just presumed it was maybe a smoke alarm that had gone off or a false alarm.

“But when I found out what had really happened the next morning, I was in fits of giggles. I don’t know the poor girl but everyone is saying it was a bit of a steamy situation with her fella that went wrong. No-one has seen her since. I wouldn’t be surprised if she is too embarrassed to show her face.”
