Store employees heroically cut free a boy's jacket trapped in an escalator in central China.

The video was filmed in Yichang City in Hubei Province on January 25.

The boy, who was sitting on the moving escalator, was suddenly yanked backwards and pinned to the ground, his arm trapped, as his grandmother, who had already stepped off the escalator, turned in horror to find him in distress.

In a race against time, alert supermarket staff members quickly hit the emergency button to stop the escalator. As the boy remained trapped, with his jacket tightly wound in the machinery, bystanders frantically called emergency services while attempting to free him by cutting through the jacket.

Firefighters swiftly arrived at the scene and, in a combined effort with the staff and onlookers, managed to rescue the boy.

Miraculously, aside from his ripped jacket, the boy was unharmed.

1月25日，湖北宜昌。一男童跟着奶奶逛超市，奶奶先下了电梯，而男童竟然坐在电梯上，结果羽绒服被卡进了电梯缝隙，孩子直接被跩后仰倒地，胳膊也被卡住，奶奶这时才发现，赶紧跑过去查看。情况十分危急，一旁的店员发现后紧急按下了电梯的安全按钮，孩子被卡进电梯的衣服紧紧给勒住。大家一边报警，一边想办法拿剪刀去剪掉卡住的羽绒服。随后，消防人员也赶到了现场，大家合力将男童救出。幸运的是，除了衣服被撕裂外，男童并没有受伤。
