A two-year-old boy got stuck in a steel pot in the Indian state of Odisha on Friday (January 24th) and had to be cut free by firefighters.

The toddler sat down in the metal vessel outside his home in the Cuttack district and became tightly wedged.

The boy's family tried and failed to get him out and so called the fire brigade.

Firefighters used a saw to cut the pot open while taking great care not to hurt the screaming toddler.
