Escalator Incident at Davis Square | Boston News

Another tragic escalator incident at Davis Square MBTA station this Friday morning—this time a passenger’s clothing snagged, causing a fall and hand injury, while a quick-thinking rider hit the emergency stop button. Emergency crews responded, and the MBTA praised the bystander for acting fast. This isn’t the first time: in February, a 40-year-old man died after getting trapped on the same escalator. The MBTA is now reviewing safety protocols as they’ve already issued warnings about clothing hazards and emergency buttons.
