An MTR staff member stopped the escalator immediately upon arriving at the scene. Injured commuters were sent to hospital for treatment.
“The station has notified the contractor responsible to check the escalator in question and to find out the cause of the accident,” an MTR spokeswoman said, adding that train services on the Kwun Tong line had not been disrupted.
