A young Ohio man found himself in a frightening situation this week when he climbed into a toy machine at a suburban community center and became trapped.
Rescue workers were needed to extract him.
The incident happened Monday at the Mason Community Center, located about 25 miles northeast of Cincinnati.
CCTV footage shows the boy approaching the machine, opening the prize tray and crawling in head first. He is soon engulfed in stuffed animals and becomes completely stuck.
