A guy’s attempts at a treat backfired after his arm was caught in a vending machine in a shopping mall.
On Thursday morning, the four-year-old ran into trouble at the Seaford Central Mall in Adelaide.
Dramatic scenes unfolded after the boy spotted a chocolate-containing skill test machine.
The prospect of a treat was too strong for the young man to resist and he quickly reached the car to try to have a snack.
However, chaos ensued when his arm froze and emergency services were called.
The Adelaide Metropolitan Fire Brigade team spent an hour trying to free the boy before they could.
He was taken to the hospital with minor cuts in his arm.
