MOSCOW, January 3 (RIA Novosti) - A pensioner in northern France spent New Year’s night locked inside a supermarket, media reported.
The woman, aged 73, felt faint at the store in Roubaix, near Lille and the Belgian border, on Monday evening and went to the bathroom, British broadcaster BBC reported.
When she returned, the shop was deserted and locked up.
Nobody freed the woman until Tuesday morning, when a staff member found her safe but exhausted.
According to regional French newspaper La Voix du Nord, the supermarket’s management presented its apologies to the woman.
