Doctors remove six-centimetre-long needle from toddler's stomach

A bizarre video has emerged from China of a toddler taken to hospital to remove a six-centimetre-long needle from his stomach.

The footage, filmed in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province in December last year, shows the two-year-old boy crying before doctors use gastroscopy to locate the needle and remove it.

According to local news, the needle entered his body when the boy hit a chair after pinning it to his clothes.

He is now reportedly out of danger.
