At 9:36 a.m. on July 5, the escalator at the Beijing Zoo station on Subway Line No. 4 suddenly crashed, causing one death and injuring nearly 28 people, two of which were badly injured.

The incident happened at 9:36 a.m. at the A exit of the Zoo Station on Line 4, said the information office of the Beijing municipal government.
The office said some people on the escalator fell down after "an escalator malfunction," without elaborating the nature of the malfunction.
According to photos posted by witnesses on microblogs on weibo.com, several people were seen lying on the ground -- apparently after falling down from the escalator -- and were helped by others. Blood can be seen on the floor.

Beijing MTR Corporation, which operates the Line 4 subway, posted a brief statement about the accident on its website mtr.bj.cn, which provided an explanation as same as the government's press release.
The company said it has already launched an emergency response and all injured people have been sent to the hospital.
