A four-year-old boy had his toes torn off after getting his shoe caught in an escalator at London Bridge station.

A doctor who happened to be nearby helped to treat the boy, while a station worker found the toes and put them on ice.The Sittingbourne-based family are now taking legal action against Network Rail and are asking for any witnesses to come forward."I am confident our little boy wasn’t doing anything he shouldn’t have been on the escalator, we were right next to him, and it was such a frightening experience to see him suddenly trapped like that.

“We felt it was important to speak out about what happened to us, so parents know to be extremely vigilant when travelling around London." Network Rail has denied liability and said that the escalator was not faulty, according to the law firm.
