A young boy was rescued unharmed after climbing into a stuffed-animal claw machine at the Mason Community Center in Mason, Ohio, on Monday, 7 July. Surveillance footage shows the child wriggling through the machine’s prize chute and standing amid the toys before passers-by noticed he was trapped. Community-center staff unplugged the machine and rolled it into a nearby shop while calling first responders. Mason police, firefighters and EMS personnel removed the back panel and freed the boy within minutes. Authorities said he suffered no injuries, and the machine was returned to service later that day. The video of the incident, released by the city and local media outlets, has drawn renewed attention to the accessibility of arcade prize machines and the safety measures in place to prevent similar mishaps.
