A father-of-two has been left fighting for his life in a coma after tumbling 100ft down a non-moving escalator.

Neil Anderson, 52, had been for a meal with a friend when he stepped onto an escalator at Doncaster Interchange. But he took a tumble when he lost his footing as the escalator was broken and did not move in line with his steps. Neil, a B&Q store worker, had two cardiac arrests and was pronounced dead for eight minutes at the scene before being blue-lighted to nearby Doncaster Royal Infirmary.

Grant said: 'He's hit the bottom and the security guards didn't help him - he was choking on blood and they didn't give him CPR. Security were pushing everyone away while he was choking and going through cardiac arrest. 'He's banged all of his body which we knew he was going to do because he fell. They watched him choke which is disgusting, they waited until he took his last breath and then put a sheet over him.
