HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Authorities released Thursday night the 911 call a teenage boy made after his friend got trapped inside an abandoned bank's vault in Hollywood.
Police said the teenagers were exploring the abandoned Bank of America building Wednesday afternoon when the massive door closed.
"Me and my friend are in an abandoned bank and the vault closed on him and he's locked in here," the boy told a 911 dispatcher.
The teenager was trapped for more than three hours.
During the 911 call, the dispatcher heard the boy apologizing to his panicking friend.
"Alright, stop crying, bro," the trapped teen's friend said. "They're coming."
Firefighters arrived soon after, but they struggled to open the vault.
The boy's hero was a bank employee who was able to remember the vault's combination before it moved across the street. Police said the teens won't face trespassing charges.
