Toddler Gets Stuck Inside Claw Vending Machine

Lincoln Nebraska – No one is quite sure how it happened, but a 3-year-old found himself inside a claw vending machine, surrounded by stuffed animals.

KETV reported that the boy's panicked mother called police at 5:30 p.m. when she was unable to find him. The family lived in an apartment across the street from a bowling alley.

Patrons in the bowling alley noticed the boy inside the claw vending machine, flinging around stuffed animals. Authorities suspect that the child, who was not hurt, crawled in through a prize door.
