A boy was transported to a local hospital’s trauma center as a result of injuring his foot on an escalator in the Macy’s department store on State Street in Chicago on December 15, CBS 2 News reports. Chicago police said the incident happened on an escalator near the fourth floor. The unit is roped off and being inspected, and the source says several of its steps have been removed. The more than 100-year-old store had three escalator equipment violations in October, including one involving sharp edges and corners. Macy’s says all violations have been addressed, and an investigation is ongoing.
