10 Injured In Escalator Collapse At Stuyvesant High School

TRIBECA, NY — An escalator collapsed at Stuyvesant High School injuring ten people Thursday — including one person whose toe was partially severed during the ordeal, FDNY said.

Medics rushed to the school at 345 Chambers Street just after 3:40 p.m. One person was transported to Bellevue Hospital and another person was taken to Lower Manhattan Hospital for treatment, an FDNY spokesman said.

The rest of the group suffered minor cuts.

It is unclear what caused the escalator to malfunction. Investigators are surveying the lift.
