A video of a man stuck inside an ATM in Cape Town after shutters went down has made rounds on social media.

In the TikTok clip uploaded by @jayjayidel, the man is seen inside the ATM and the shutters are closed. The gent presumably went to the ATM to withdraw money. However, little did he know that it was time for the shutters to close.

It is not clear if the man did not hear the shutters when they were going down because surely they did not close fast. It is also not clear what ended up happening. The situation left people on the scene in laughter.
