A malfunctioning escalator at Saturday’s Brewers-Cubs game in Milwaukee resulted in injuries to 11 fans, one of whom called it ‘the scariest thing that’s ever happened to’ him.
‘After the conclusion of today’s game, an escalator at American Family Field moving fans from the terrace to loge level malfunctioned,’ read the team statement following the Brewers’ 5-3 loss to the visiting Cubs.
No life-threatening injuries were reported, but six of the 11 injured fans were taken to the hospital. The other five were treated at the scene.
‘Our onsite physician and EMS were on the scene immediately, and we are appreciative of their quick response.’
CHGO Chicago producer Greg Braggs Jr. was among those who was taken to the hospital.

‘I was one of them caught on this thing,’ he continued. ‘A big portion of our group was on the escalator as it completely gave way with over 100 ppl on it.
‘Probably the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me.
‘Knee got f***ed up but at the end of the day, I got lucky it wasn’t worse.’
The incident marred an already bad day for the Brewers, who fell to their former manager, the Cubs’ Craig Counsell.
The Cubs and Brewers will play the rubber match of the series on Sunday. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10om local time.
