Eleven people were injured after an escalator at the Milwaukee Brewers‘ American Family Field malfunctioned, resulting in “an increased downward speed.”
The incident occurred after the Brewers’ 5-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs while fans were taking the escalator from the terrace to the loge level.
Five of the people injured were treated at the ballpark while the other six were transported to area hospitals with non-life threatening injuries, according to the team.
The Brewers, in a statement Sunday, said they were in the process of reaching out to those who were injured to “check on their condition and express our best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery.”
The team also said that all of the ballpark escalators were inspected overnight and deemed safe for use. The Brewers host the Cubs again Sunday at 1:10 p.m. CT.
