A 6-year-old boy is recovering after his mother said he became trapped inside a running washing machine.

Timothy "T.J." Clark and his 4-year-old sister were playing in what they apparently thought was a broken machine at a laundromat off Northwest 79th St. and 22nd Ave.

The boy’s mother, Saraco Black, told Local 10 that her daughter went running to her for help.

“She came to me and said 'Mommy, my brother is inside the washing machine.' When she said that I got up, went over to the machine and my baby was spinning around inside,” Black said.

After three tries, and with the help of two men who were in the laundromat, Black was able to pull open the washing machine's door.

The boy was rushed to Ryder Trauma Center. He needed stitches but is expected to be OK.
