In order to distract the victim while trying to remove his foot from the hole, firemen played him cartoons on a mobile phone.
According to New Straits Times, Pasir Gudang fire and rescue station (BBP) operation commander Iszahwati Supardi said their effort paid off when the three-year-old became engrossed in the cartoon while the work to remove his stuck foot was being done.
“He was stuck for over two hours before we were called to rescue him,” Iszahwati added.
