Dover, Ohio - (AP) - A 4-year-old boy got stuck when he climbed into his family's top-loading washing machine, and firefighters had to use a metal cutter to slice into the appliance to get him out.

Donovan Hasseman, who wasn't hurt, was wedged up against the agitator with a knee folded against his chest, while the machine was empty and not running.

Firefighters responding to a 911 call from the boy's mother tried to help him wriggle out, but he couldn't move.

The fire department wound up using its hydraulic "jaws-of-life" tool normally used to remove crash victims from wrecked vehicles to cut through the machine's walls and plastic tub.

A hospital released him, and he was given a stuffed bear which the family has named Agitator
