On July 16, a frightening incident occurred at a shopping plaza in Shapingba District, Chongqing, when a young boy got his head stuck between an escalator and the wall after playing while riding the escalator.

The situation was urgent, but nearby shoppers quickly reacted by pressing the emergency stop button, halting the escalator and preventing further injury. Several bystanders then worked together to rescue the boy, using tools and force to widen the gap and eventually free him.

After the rescue, the boy’s parents immediately took him to the hospital, where he was found to have no serious injuries.

On the 17th, mall staff stated that the incident was caused by the boy's curiosity as he tried to "wedge his head" into the space, and not due to a mechanical fault. Safety warnings were already posted by the escalator, and yellow caution signs have since been added. The mall urged parents to better supervise their children.

7月16日，重庆市沙坪坝区一购物广场发生惊险一幕，一名男孩因乘扶梯时玩耍，头部被卡在扶梯与墙体缝隙间。

现场情况紧急，周围顾客迅速反应，第一时间按下扶梯紧急停止按钮，阻止扶梯继续运行，避免男孩受到进一步伤害。随后，多名热心路人合力施救，通过扳动扶梯部件等方式扩大缝隙空间，最终成功将男孩救出。

男孩被救出后，家长立即带其前往医院检查，所幸未造成严重伤害。

17日商场工作人员回应，事件系男孩好奇尝试“卡头”导致，非设备故障；扶梯旁原有安全提示，事发后已增设黄色警示标识，并呼吁家长加强儿童看护。
