MADISON, Wisconsin (WISN) — A 2-year-old boy was safely rescued after getting stuck inside a claw machine. The rescue happened at an ice cream shop in Madison.
Two-year-old Lohan Gutierrez squeezed through an opening in the machine, climbing up to the stuffed animals before realizing he was trapped.
His father, Jefrin Gutierrez Gamez, recorded the rescue and posted the video on TikTok, where it has gained more than a million views.
“I think it did leave us with the message as parents, and to all the people who see the video, things happen in a split second and it isn’t the parents’ fault,” Gutierrez Gamez said.
The fire department stated it was a routine call and the boy was not hurt. While he is now scared of claw machines, the toddler did get to take plush toys home.
