YELLOWKNIFE — A man has been rescued from a garbage truck in Yellowknife.
RCMP say they received a call from a person who saw a man fall from a dumpster into the back of the trash truck early Tuesday morning.
Officers stopped the truck minutes later in a parking lot and heard a voice coming from inside.
The 42-year-old was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries.
RCMP spokeswoman Marie York-Condon says she doesn't know why the man was in the garbage bin.
She says the matter is not considered criminal.
