An Australian toddler climbed into a “Hello Kitty” arcade claw machine but was “in no rush to get out” and was rescued in a smash-and-grab rescue, police said Thursday.
Queensland Police said three-year-old Ethan climbed into a machine filled with stuffed animals through a prize chute during a shopping trip.
Police video shows four officers assessing the problem before shooting the unfazed toddler to the other side of the glass partition.
“Police ensured Ethan was at a safe distance from the machine before breaking the machine’s glass window to free him,” Queensland Police said.
“You won the lottery, which one do you want?” a police officer joked after rescuing the boy.
