Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) has removed a cookie cutter from a young girl's hand in Rydalmere in western Sydney this morning.
Crews were called to the rescue incident on South Street at 7.40 am.
The two-year-old girl was extremely distressed and her hand was turning purple.
Firefighters used lollies to placate the little girl before utilising specialist tools to remove the cookie cutter from her finger.
The toddler is now back in the arms of her very relieved mother.
