The porta-potty was locked for transport Friday morning after North Bergen's Winter Fest Parade, Lt. Christopher Brignola told The Jersey Journal of Jersey City. A pedestrian walking by heard a call for help from within, and police and a rescue squad came to the scene.

"We are instructing our employees that from now on they are supposed to open the door and look inside before padlocking it," Brignola said. "No one has ever heard of anything like this happening here," township spokesman Paul Swibinski said.
