From reports of injured pets to buckling steps, it’s definitely better to be safe rather than sorry when you’re on an escalator.
An elderly man who suffered multiple abrasions after tumbling down an escalator in Hillion Mall yesterday (Sept 3) afternoon was conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed.
The man, who appeared to be in his seventies, was travelling on the escalator from the mall’s basement one level to basement two with his wife, an eyewitness who works in the mall told Lianhe Wanbao.
“We heard a sudden shout of alarm coming from the escalator, then we saw an old man rolling down,” she said.
The man landed at the foot of the escalator and appeared to be unable to stand.
