An elevator broke down after a worker used a piece of glass to block doors in central China.

Video filmed in the city of Yichang in Hubei Province on October 12 shows a worker placing a pane of glass to try to stop the elevator doors from closing.

However, the elevator did not detect the glass and closed.

The glass then shattered and the elevator reportedly broke down.

According to reports, the worker attempted to use the glass to block the doors so it was easier for him to move all the glass into the elevator.

After negotiating with the property management, the worker's company would pay for the damage to the elevator.

近日，湖北宜昌，一名装修工人用玻璃挡住电梯门，以方便自己运送其他的玻璃，结果玻璃是透明的，电梯的防夹功能识别不了，导致直接关门后向上运行，电梯被损坏死机。最后，由装修公司和小区的物业协商后，电梯的损失由装修公司来赔偿。
