Serendipity In Australia – Prize Catch
I wonder where this story comes from?
FIREFIGHTERS were called to a bizarre rescue mission at an NT shopping centre after a little boy climbed up the prize chute of a claw vending machine and got stuck inside with the toys.
The toddler is believed to be just 2 1/2 years old.
A six-man crew from the Palmerston Fire Station rushed to the nearby Oasis Shopping Village after receiving a call that a child was trapped in a toy vending machine at 3.25pm on Saturday.
Shoppers watched on – most of them trying to control their laughter – as the firies used the jaws of life and then a hacksaw to cut the padlock on the machine.
The firies then had to pry the glass door open – all while the boy’s parents stood by trying to calm him down through the glass.
One onlooker told the Northern Territory News that everyone found it “extremely amusing”.
