An intrepid 3-year-old managed to get into a 'Hello Kitty'
claw machine
at an Australian shopping mall, and seemed
"in no hurry to get out"
when he was rescued, police said THURSDAY.
Queensland Police said three-year-old Ethan managed to get into the machine - a machine filled with soft toys, with a claw that you can activate by paying to try to catch one - through the device allowing prices to fall.
The police video shows police officers watching the young boy frolicking quietly among the stuffed animals.
“Police ensured Ethan was at a sufficient distance before breaking a window of the machine to free him
,” Queensland Police said.
“You won a prize, which one do you want?”
, jokes a police officer, lifting the little adventurer, impassive, to free him.
