Horrifying footage released online in China showed a baby tumbling down a shopping mall’s escalator after she was left unattended.
According to local media reports, the child was only nine months old. However, it was shocking to see how it was roaming around alone in a walker without any attendant in sight. Therefore, when the child’s walker reached the tip of the mall’s upward escalator, it slowly moved towards the moving stairs portion.
And that’s when all of a sudden, it started to tumble down uncontrollably. Immediately, loud screams and cries could be heard as anxious by-passers made attempts to alert and assist the innocent and unaccompanied child. However, thankfully, a miracle did reach her in time.
Suddenly, a soldier who witnessed the shocking incident decided to act immediately and rescued the baby before it slammed and hit the ground ever further.
The footage revealed how the child had escaped on its own from a nearby store. And that’s when it suddenly reached the moving stairs of the escalator and decided to go on it unattended. Police authorities revealed the exact location of the incident as a famous shopping center in the Wuxi district in Eastern China.
In the same way, recent reports from Beijing Daily went on to add how the incident had taken place on a Friday rush hour during the noon timings. Now, viral footage of the accident is making the rounds on Chinese social media with many people striking a debate as to where the parents were in the first place.
Others called for the caretakers to be punished for a crime that could have possibly resulted in the child’s death.
As investigations into the case continue, more shocking information showed how the baby was in fact left alone in the walker at a restaurant’s lobby area. How and why that occurred still appears to be a major mystery to many.
