4 year old Chinese boy dies after
getting stuck underneath
escalator's handrail
A 4-year-old Chinese boy died Thursday after
getting trapped underneath the handrail of an
escalator at a train station, according to local
media.
The boy, who had been playing near the
escalator at the Chongqing station, got stuck
beneath the moving handrail and the ground,
Asia One reported.
Workers managed to remove the boy from the
area, but he died while heading to a local
hospital, reports said. The cause of death was
not revealed.
The boy’s death follows an incident in July in
which a woman was killed after becoming
trapped inside a moving escalator in Jingzhou. In
that incident, the woman was able to push her 2-
year-old son to safety before falling through a
panel at the top of the escalator.
In August, a man who was cleaning an escalator
at a mall in Shanghai had to have his leg
amputated after it became stuck in the moving
steps.
