Beijing, Apr 27 (Agencies) : The two-year-old boy from China's Jiangsu Province was climbing into the spin dryer of a twin-tub washing machine to fetch his toy when he got his leg stuck tightly in the basket on Thursday morning, according to his mother.
She carried the machine out of house and called local firefighters for help.
The firefighters rushed to the site and decided to disassemble the washer to free the boy as soon as possible, she said.
Several rescuers gradually cut the washer's cabinet open with a saw and hydraulic pliers and carried the boy trapped in the basket out of the tub. Then the firefighters used a hacksaw and scissors to break the basket and pull him out.
The boy was sent to hospital but was not injured in the incident.
