Woman falls 4 floors from an escalator in Debenhams...
 
A woman has reportedly suffered serious injuries after falling from a fourth-floor escalator in front of horrified shoppers at Debenhams in central London.

The woman, who has been taken to hospital, fell at the store's flagship branch in Oxford Street on Sunday afternoon.

Police are said to be treating the incident as non-suspicious.

Customers have spoken of their shock at witnessing the woman's fall. One 19-year-old shopper, who asked not to be named, told the Evening Standard: “We were on the ground floor as it happened, and she landed on the basement floor.


“There was a very loud bang and lots of screams. It was really awful – no one really knew what to do.

“It was very, very busy and there were a few kids. I witnessed a lot of people walking from the escalator where they saw the incident running outside crying and covering their eyes. Everyone was just in shock."

The escalators were probably stacked with no flooring on either side so when she fell she went straight to the bottom rather than falling on the lower floor.

..this is the escalator I think..she must have fallen down from the forth floor through to the ground one...

..the DM reports her injuries as not being serious but the Huffington, Sky News and the Daily Express report that they are serious...

she fell from the 4th to the basement level. So 5 floors. The equivalent of jumping off a building.

i don't like how people ran out of the shop. They should have went to see if she was alright.
