A missing 3-year-old boy was able to crawl inside a claw vending machine at a bowling alley in Nebraska.
The child wandered away from his apartment and, according to KETV, climbed inside the machine and was surrounded by stuffed animals.
According to WOWT-TV, employees at Madsen's Bowling and Billiards in Lincoln said a customer alerted them that the young child was stuck inside the claw machine.
At the same time a 24-year-old woman called 911 when she discovered her 3-year-old had slipped out of her apartment while she was in the bathroom.
Employees at the bowling alley called the machine vendor, who was able to get the boy out unhurt.
"There must have be 25 people surrounding him but he didn't notice anybody," witness Rachell Hildreth told KETV. "He was just inside playing with the stuffed animals."
The mother was reunited with her son and is not facing any charges.
