Fire and EMS services successfully rescued a child who had become trapped inside the popular claw machine arcade game at the Mason Community Center in Mason, Ohio -- roughly 25 miles northeast of Cincinnati -- according to a police report and surveillance footage taken from the location.

The latest claw machine rescue certainly doesn't mark the first time a child has gotten stuck in one of the popular arcade units. Back in February 2024, a 3-year-old boy in Australia was rescued after climbing into the prize dispenser of a Hello Kitty claw machine to secure a toy.
