“The incident was later noticed by a member of the public who wanted to use the machine,” he said in a statement.
He added that rescue personnel took about three minutes to get the girl out of the machine by cutting the lock.
“She was not injured but was traumatised by the incident and ran home after being rescued,” he said.
