As reported in The Border Mail, CFA crews have rescued a 3-year-old boy who squeezed his arm into the one-way chute of a Wodonga Shopping Centre vending machine and became trapped.

The boy was looking for chocolate and reached in past the guard that stops people putting their hands in the claw machine.

Wodonga Station Officer David Brown said, “He got his hand to such a stage that no matter how hard he pulled, it was just wedging him in there, he was pinned.”

The boy’s hands was freed four minutes after CFA arrived on scene after a gentleman from Coles opened the top of the machine and firefighters were able to reach down the top and release the parts holding the guard mechanism in place.
