VIDEO DESCRIPTION

A three-year-old boy becomes trapped inside a claw machine at a shopping center after climbing through its prize dispenser. The child, who regularly plays with the machines, is surprisingly calm and amused while inside. His father says that the situation is unexpected and that his son is having a great time. As adults try to coax him out, the father and his partner stay calm and call the claw machine company for assistance. During the rescue, the father jokes about using $2 coins to win his son back. A police officer leads the operation, directing the child to the back corner of the machine and breaking the glass to safely extract him. The child remains in good spirits throughout, making the rescue easier. The shopping center states that this is the first incident of its kind and is working with the claw machine vendor to prevent future occurrences. The boy receives a toy koala dressed as a police officer as a memento and promises his dad that he won't do it again.
