Chinese firefighters pry open parcel locker to free toddler

Firefighters in southeastern China pried a parcel locker open to free a one-year-old after he was locked inside by his four-year-old sister.

In the video, shot in the city of Ganzhou in Jiangxi Province on May 19, a boy locked inside a parcel locker can be heard crying, while his mum trying to comfort him by saying "don't cry baby, mum is here".

Firefighters used a crowbar to pry the parcel locker open and the baby's mother carried him out.

According to reports, the mum was collecting a parcel on the other side when the one-year-old climbed into an open locker and his sister closed the door to lock him inside.

Fortunately, the boy was not injured seriously.
