A toddler has been reunited with his mother after employees found him playing inside a claw crane machine at a Nebraska bowling alley.

A 24-year-old woman called 911 because her three-year-old son was missing from her apartment, Lincoln police said. Employees at the bowling alley across the street meanwhile called police to say a small boy was playing with stuffed animals inside the coin-operated machine.

It is unclear how the boy ended up inside the machine. A representative from the vending machine company let him out and he was reunited with his mother. He was not hurt.
