Toddler rescued by police after getting stuck inside toy
A toddler in Fort Lee, New Jersey was rescued by police after he got stuck inside of a toy.
One curious tot from New Jersey landed himself in a playtime pickle when the lower half of his body got stuck in a box-shaped toy, prompting his mother to call the police for help – and of course, snap some photos of the unforgettable situation.
On Jan. 22, Soona Choe of Fort Lee found her twenty-month old son, Luca, trapped inside one of his toys, CBS 2 reports. According to the outlet, the box-shaped plaything is designed to teach kids about shapes – though adventurous Luca chose instead to climb inside the contraption, wedging his legs and knees inside, effectively trapping himself.
“It’s kind of comical if you think about the situation. He got in, got wedged in, and he couldn’t get out,” Choe told the outlet.

Struggling to remove her son from the toy, Choe called the police for assistance – who were admittedly charmed at the scene by the precious youngster and his ploy.
“When I got there his expression was just priceless, he had this face on like ‘Yeah, I did it’. It was pretty cute,” Sergeant Rick Hernandez told CBS.
