Child gets stuck inside claw machine at Mason community center
After his prize would not come out of a claw machine at a local community center, a child climbed inside head first, prompting a large police and fire response to free him, according to Mason police. Surveillance footage from the community center captured the boy climbing into the machine through the prize shoot near the bottom. According to Mason police, the boy's mother made several failed attempts to pull him out of the prize shoot. The machine was then rolled into the center's post office so emergency crews could work to extricate the boy. The back panel of the claw machine was removed, allowing the child to escape safely and without injury, according to officials.
