Jumping up and down may seem like a perfectly normal childhood activity, but for a three-year-old in China, his favourite activity turned out to be his worst nightmare.

The boy who loves jumping on top of washing machines, was doing just that that when his leg got stuck in the machine.

A fire and rescue team later rushed to the scene when he could not pull out his leg.

The team had to cut the top part of the machine to avoid causing any serious injuries to the boy.

The fire and rescue team took about 10 minutes to get the boy out of the machine.

The child was later sent to the hospital. He did not sustain any serious injuries.
