A video has emerged of the moment Chinese doctors extracted a 4cm sewing needle from the throat of a one-year-old baby.
According to reports, the child had swallowed the needle, although it is not clear how.
A graphic X-ray shows the needle firmly lodged in the child's throat before surgeons inserted a camera and removed the sharp object.
After being removed, doctors found the needle measured a whopping 4cm, almost the height of a golf tee.
