Child, frustrated with game, gets stuck in claw machine

5-year-old Tay's attempt at winning a stuffed animal did not go according to plan. He got stuck in the claw game at the Northtown Mall in Blaine. (This video is looped.)

We know the game is hard, but you're not supposed to get into the machine to win the stuffed animal. 

Last weekend, 5-year-old Tay, apparently annoyed with the lack of progress in winning a stuffed animal using a claw machine at the Northtown Mall in Blaine, Minnesota, decided to take a different approach – he just got into the machine.

Getting in was easier, getting out – well that was a little harder. Tay's mom told FOX 9 he needed his older brother Grayson's help to get free of the claw machine. 

Tay's mom said he's fine. Though we at FOX 9 are pretty certain he'll NEVER get through a family gathering without someone bringing up the incident.
