COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Officials at a Denmark airport said a 3-year-old boy rode the entirety of the baggage belt system, including an X-ray machine.

Copenhagen Airport workers said the young boy hoisted himself onto an unattended baggage belt while he and his mother were checking in for an early Thursday flight, The Copenhagen Post reported Monday.

The X-ray directed the boy to an area for bags that needed to be handled manually because an identification tag was not detected.

An airport worker heard the boy calling out from the area and he was rescued and reunited with his mother.

Officials said the boy seemed shaken but unharmed. He was believed to have boarded the plane with his mother as planned.
