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.
