A three-year-old in Australia managed to climb inside a toy vending machine. But he needed strong support on the way back.

Police officers in Australia have rescued a little boy from a toy claw machine. As the Queensland state police reported on Thursday, three-year-old Ethan climbed through the dispensing slot into the machine filled with “Hello Kitty” plush toys during a shopping trip with his family and was then stuck in the device.

A police video shows four officers who were called to help using gestures to shoo the boy into the back of the machine before breaking the window. “Police made sure Ethan was at a safe distance before breaking the glass window of the ATM to free him,” the police report said.

“You won a prize, which one do you want?” a police officer can be heard joking in the video as the boy is freed from the machine.
