A Pelham parent had to use a screwdriver to pry a child's fingers from the carriage of a home paper shredder.
Village of Pelham police responded to an emergency call around 2:45 p.m. March 8 from a frightened parent on Eighth Avenue.
Pelham Police Detective Richard Deere said an emergency feature turned the machine off before the child was cut and no injuries were noted.
Deere said the child, whom he identified as being between 2 and 4 years old, did not require medical attention.
