Rome escalator accident reportedly injures 20, mostly Russian soccer fans
Officials said the injured were mostly Russians in town for a Champion’s League soccer game between CSKA Moscow and AS Roma.
Italian state police tweeted that the metro station was closed after the incident.
Video posted online shows people packed on the escalator heading down at a metro station when suddenly it speeds up, sending people trapped on the stairs tumbling at the bottom.
One man heading down on a parallel escalator is seen helping another on the out-of-control escalator escape to the middle divider.
