11 people injured in escalator malfunction after Milwaukee Brewers game
Multiple people were injured when an escalator malfunctioned as fans were leaving American Family Field in Milwaukee following the Brewers game, the team announced.
After Saturday's game at the ballpark, in which the Brewers lost to the Chicago Cubs, an escalator at the field that was "moving fans from the terrace to the loge level" malfunctioned, "resulting in an increased downward speed," the team said in a statement.
Eleven people were injured in the incident. The team said five were treated at the park and six other were taken to nearby hospitals with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
No other details on the situation, or the condition of the injured, were immediately available.
