A woman had a narrow escape when a panel of flooring at the top of an escalator gave way moments after stepping on it at a Chinese shopping mall on Sunday afternoon, mainland media reports.
The accident came just weeks after a young Chinese mother died using an escalator at another mall because of the same problem when she fell into the moving parts of the machine when flooring gave way.

On Sunday an unnamed woman in her 20s was going down the escalator at the mall in Shenyang, in Liaoning province, when she heard the loud crash of a metal flooring panel behind her falling inside the machine, Liaoshen Evening News reported


She rushed to the bottom of the escalator in a panic until she was safely standing on the floor below.
