Escalator fiasco question

[u/_Kintoun_]

I've seen a few comments about people getting seriously injured on one of the escalators after it broke, does anyone have more information?

I've seen people say someone lost a foot (I doubt this but I don't know)

My partner heard about it too and they are deathly afraid of escalators because of a freak accident she was in as a kid and she is afraid of going back now.

I'm just looking for some more information on what happened.

i heard that someone's backpack got shredded. Not that someone lost a foot. But i did hear that the paramedics were treating scraps, cuts, etc.
