A woman suffered a traumatising ordeal when her shoe was caught in an escalator at Woodlands MRT Station.
Stomp contributor Z was with her husband when the incident occurred on an escalator along the linkway between the Thomson-East Coast Line and Causeway Point shopping mall on Aug 5, at around 3.30pm. She recounted: "My shoe and toes curled in to the gap of the escalator. Fortunately, I jumped out at the last second. If not, I might have already become an amputee or gotten killed."After the incident, a staff member walked out from a room and I informed him about the situation. We asked him to fix the escalator or do crowd control. He said he couldn't fix it but started asking other passengers to come down the escalator.Z also emailed SMRT about the incident afterwards.
In response to a Stomp query, Shahrin Bin Abdol Salam, managing director of SMRT's Thomson-East Coast Line, said station staff were alerted to the incident on an up-riding escalator near exits 1, 2 and 3 on Aug 5, at around 3.30pm. Shahrin told Stomp on Thursday : "The escalator had tripped as the safety mechanism detected the presence of a foreign object caught between the escalator steps. This object turned out to be a footwear."For their own safety, commuters are reminded to stand within the yellow lines of all escalator steps as well as keep their feet and footwear away from moving sides and edges."
