Firefighters acted quickly to remove the plastic potty from the toddler's head

A toddler has had a potty removed from his head by firefighters in Australia.

Reports say the boy’s parents alerted emergency services around 1:45pm after the 3-year-old became stuck in the plastic potty while playing at his home, in Frankston, Victoria.

“We could have removed it by lifting it off his head, but he was quite distressed and hanging on to it quite tight,” said a Country Fire Authority spokeswoman, reported Australia’s The Age.

The distressed toddler was cut free from behind in less than five minutes and left uninjured.

“It’s not every day that you remove a toilet or a potty from someone’s head,” said the spokeswoman.
