A person was injured after a piece of their clothing became trapped in an escalator at the Davis Square MBTA Station in Somerville Friday.
At 7 a.m. , a person fell after an article of clothing got caught at the bottom of the Davis Square Station escalator, according to a statement from the MBTA.
Another passenger riding the escalator in front of them hit the emergency stop button and helped to remove the clothing, the statement said.
MBTA personnel and Somerville Fire Department responded.
The person was transported for a hand injury sustained from the fall, officials said.
“We thank the fellow rider who helped during the incident this morning by hitting the stop button,” the statement said. “In the event of an emergency, any member of the public can stop an escalator by pressing the red button labeled ”STOP" at the top and bottom of each escalator.”
Officials said the incident is under investigation.
It was the second accident on the escalator in recent months.
In February, Steven McCluskey, 40, fell and became trapped in the same escalator. He died of strangulation by clothing, the state medical examiner’s office said.
A few months later, the MBTA released a public safety campaign alerting riders to clothing hazards and emergency stop buttons.
