North Carolina boy climbs in Carowinds claw machine, will get caught

A teenage boy needed to be free of a claw machine after he climbed inside hoping to steal a prize at a North Carolina amusement park.

Carowinds Director of Communications Courtney McGarry Weber stated the incident passed off simply earlier than 2 p.m. Sunday on the park about 13 miles south of downtown Charlotte.

Park officers discovered the 13-year-old boy acquired into the Cosmic XL Bonus Sport, which Weber stated contained plush prizes.

A medical crew responded to the scene, unlocked it and freed the boy at 2:11 p.m, Weber advised USA TODAY on Wednesday.

The kid was handled on the scene for unspecified accidents and launched from first help to his guardian.
