US boy hurt after head gets stuck in escalator

In a freak accident, a 4-year-old boy in the US suffered injuries on his face and eyelid after his head got stuck between an escalator and a wall.
The incident happened inside a store in Towne East Square Mall in Kansas, on Monday when the child was playing near the bottom of the escalator.
Brandon somehow managed to wiggle his head into the small gap in between the escalator's moving handrail and the wall right next to it.
His panicked mother, who heard her son's breathing become laboured, cried out for help, fearing that his neck would break, 'KAKE News' reported.

The employees at the store were soon able to shut the escalator down and avoid further damage, the report said.
"It caught his head, it just twisted him around," the boy's mother Alma Antunez said.
The boy was taken to a local hospital with several cuts to the right side of his face including his eyelid, but is expected to recover.
