A young Ohio boy found himself in a “claw”strophobic situation this week after he crawled inside a stuffed animal claw machine at a suburban community center and got stuck.
First responders were called in to fish him out.
The incident took place Monday at the Mason Community Center, about 25 miles northeast of Cincinnati.
Surveillance video shows the boy walking up to the machine, opening the prize chute, and crawling inside headfirst. Moments later, he was surrounded by stuffed animals and completely stuck.
