Firefighters Free Man From Chicago’s New Self-Cleaning Restroom

CHICAGO- The operator of Chicago’s first self-cleaning public restroom is explaining how a man got stuck inside on opening day. The man used the free restroom at the Polish Triangle near the Division Blue Line station around three Wednesday afternoon. The operator says he apparently missed the buttons that open the door from inside and damaged the unit trying to force his way out, triggering a lockout. Firefighters opened the door from outside, and the man wasn’t hurt. The door is designed to open automatically after 15 minutes, and the restroom cleans itself between users.
