35yo Falls 10 Meters Down Escalator & Bleeds Profusely Because He Was Playing With His Phone

Nowadays, people just can’t seem to stop looking at their phones no matter where they are. They are looking at their phones when they’re taking the train and even when they’re walking on the streets. Some don’t even see where they’re going as their eyes are so glued to the screens in their hands.

A 35-year-old man surnamed Chen from China, was using his mobile phone while walking down an escalator at Chongqing West Railway Station on 26th September.

However, he tripped and fell more than ten meters down the escalator – which was more than 30 steps – as he did not see where he was going, reported Oriental Daily.
