Watch: kid at a mall is rescued from getting stuck inside a claw machine

At a suburban shopping mall in Brisbane, Australia, police came to the aid of a 3-year-old boy who had become trapped inside a claw machine game. Video, recorded on Saturday, shows the toddler sitting inside the glass-walled box filled with plush toys, completely unaware of his predicament. According to the boy’s father, his son had disappeared into the prize dispenser of the claw machine in a split second. The police and the boy’s parents rallied around to ensure his safety. They encouraged him to move to a safe corner within the machine and cover his eyes while the police broke a glass panel to free him unharmed. The video finishes with an officer playfully teasing the boy, saying, “You won a prize. Which one do you want?”
