A 13-year-old boy had to be freed from a North Carolina amusement park’s claw machine after he climbed inside hoping to score a prize.

The boy was inside the Cosmic XL Bonus Game, filled with plush prizes.

The medical response team unlocked the machine and the boy was able to get out, she said. He was treated and released from first aid to his guardian.

The boy has been banned from the park for one year for attempted theft.
