A 6-year-old boy was injured Monday afternoon when he fell from an escalator at the Mall of America in Bloomington, police say.
The boy was at the top of the escalator on his way down to Sea Life about 4 p.m. when he fell to the floor below, said Mike Hartley, deputy chief of the Bloomington police. The boy was alert and conscious after the fall, and his injuries appeared to be minor, Hartley said. He was taken to Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis.
