Boy gets caught in toy-filled 'claw' machine
Associated Press

AUSTIN, Minn. — A machine filled with toys must've been awfully tempting to a three-year-old boy.
The tot crawled through the toy discharge chute in the Toy Chest claw machine at a Godfather's Pizza in Austin and got stuck amid all the toys.

Fire Chief Dan Wilson said it was one of the funniest things he's ever seen. Wilson was one of three people to respond to the non-emergency call. He says the boy was inside the transparent container playing, smiling and laughing and people were taking his picture with digital cameras.

Firefighters pried the door open to get the boy out.

The child wasn't hurt.

WOW!!


Thanks 4 sharing it. That's SO funny. I wonder how he got in there??? Toys must be tempting...need I say more??

I so want to be that kid.

I hope the restaurant owner let him keep
at least one of the toys for his effort!

omg that would've been fuckin awesome!!

...that's just about the ONLY way to get one of those damned toys from those machines!

I saw this on the news. They never went into detail as to how he climbed in there. The slots on those machines seem like they'd be too small to even barely fit your arm in.

Holy crap!

There's his 15 minutes of fame, and he won't even remember it.

Greedy little bugger. Couldn't they have left him there awhile to teach him a lesson?

I remember this exact same situation happening with some other kid a few years ago.

I can't understand how these kids are able to crawl up in there!
