A worker from Westfield told Daily Mail Australia that two of his colleagues, who work in a bakery, walked past the bins at around 3am when they arrived at work.
In the dark morning light they saw a bicycle lying on the ground under the boxes, but they did not notice the protruding body.
“We were told he stood on his bike to keep himself upright as he tried to get stuff out of the bin, but the bike fell and he got stuck,” said the man, who asked not to be identified. to stay.
'It's very sad. They need to do something to prevent people from falling for it. Like an internal latch or something.”
