FIREFIGHTERS used a crowbar this morning (Sat) to release a mischievous toddler trapped between a washing machine and kitchen cabinet.

The alarm was raised at 10.08 am after the two-year-old boy's arm got stuck at his family's home in Columbia Road, Ensbury Park, Bournemouth. 

A Dorset Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said a crew from Redhill had been sent to the property.

She added: "They used a crowbar to release the child whose elbow was trapped. They gave him first-aid and his parents took him to hospital. He was given Trauma Ted; a cuddly teddy bear."

The boy is not believed to have suffered serious injuries.
