Three-year-old NSW boy gets fingers stuck in bath plug hole

A three-year-old boy from NSW has found his fingers stuck in the plug hole of his bathtub, with paramedics called to the scene to cut the toddler free.

Leo’s mother, Corinne Deiner, knew she was going to be in for a long night when she noticed that her three-year-old had become a little too curious for his own good.

"I hear this voice go, 'I'm stuck', and I'm like, 'oh, what kind of stuck'?", Corinne said.

Remarkably though, despite Leo stayed calm through the whole ordeal.

"He was pretty much back against the wall, three fingers straight down, just sort of looked at me like, 'I'm in trouble aren't I?'", she added.

It took an hour to free little Leo.

"We flipped the plate out, and then once that was out, they put a film under each finger and had to cut each individual hole to get each finger out," Kahlie McLennan from NSW Ambulance said.

Each finger was a little swollen but not injured.

"I was very proud of him," Leo's mother said,

"He cried only a little bit and that was when they were trying to cut the drain off his fingers."
