Toddler becomes trapped in sweet machine

A toddler became trapped inside a glass sweetie machine after crawling through the slot from which prizes normally emerge.

Australian Cohen Stone, 2, was eyeing up the claw grabbing dispenser at a western Australian restaurant when his mother turned her back for just a few moments.

"He was there one minute, inside it the next, like a magician's trick," said his mother Kyra, 24, who said that the hole he crawled through was "tiny".

She said: "I have no idea how he did it. That's when I started to panic. I didn't know how I was going to get him out."

Cohen was released 45 minutes later when a locksmith freed him.
