According to the post, the girl’s leg was allegedly cut by a metal plate that suddenly came out when she was riding on the escalator. She seems to be heavily injured as the photos show her leg bleeding profusely with her calf seemingly sustaining a major cut. Bits of flesh can be seen dangling from her calf.
The picture shows her being helped by the other shoppers there. Poor girl!

Netizens were horrified by the incident and worried about the safety of escalators as these kind of cases seem to be getting more and more common in Malaysia.
Sunway Pyramid’s staff acknowledged that there was an accident that happened on the escalator, and posted an official statement on their Facebook page confirming the incident. They explained that they are investigating the issue and will keep shoppers updated once they have any findings.

Hopefully the management can get to the bottom of the issue and prevent similar situations from happening again.
As for the lady, we wish her a speedy recovery!
