This is the unbelievable moment a young boy has his torso stuck in a hole on a sofa headrest in eastern China.
The five-year-old boy placed his head through a hole of a convertible sofa out of curiosity at a beauty parlour and quickly got stuck.
Firefighters had to tear apart the sofa to free the boy.

Video posted by People’s Daily Online, shows the shocking incident happened in Suixi county of Anhui Province on September 30.
The boy, whose name has not been revealed, can be seen standing on a purple velvet sofa; however, with his head through the headrest.
Two members of staff offered help to calm the boy’s emotion at the back of the sofa, whilst a woman was fanning behind.
Pang Dade, firefighter from Suixi Fire Brigade, told the reporter in the video that the sofa can turn into a massage couch, with a hole at the headrest for a better comfort.
Firefighter said the boy had a big head that could not be taken out easily from the hole
Firefighters had to break the sofa apart using a hydraulic spreader and other small tools
It’s reported that the boy was playing at the salon and put his head in the hole himself.
But it’s not sure if the boy’s parents were at the scene during the incident.
‘He is quite a big kid and his head is quite big as well. He could not take his head out after putting in the hole,’ said Pang.
Pang explained that they had to use a hydraulic spreader to gain access to the headrest.
The boy had to hold his standing position until the firefighters freed him from danger
The boy was saved at last and no injuries were found on or around his head and neck
‘We covered the boy’s head and neck by some towels as protection,’ he added.
The rescue continued as firefighters used smaller tools such as screwdrivers to break the wood around his neck.
The boy was freed after some minutes with no injuries.
