Victim In Brewers’ Escalator Malfunction Speaks Out: ‘Scariest Thing That’s Ever Happened’

The Chicago Cubs' 5-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday was overshadowed by a malfunctioning escalator at American Family Field, which injured 11 fans as they were leaving.

Six were taken to a hospital, though none suffered life-threatening injuries, according to an official statement released by the Brewers.

As people were exiting the stadium, the escalator that went from the Terrace to the Loge level malfunctioned, resulting in an "increased downward speed,” the statement said.

Greg Braggs Jr., a victim in the incident, posted on social media after the accident and described it as "the scariest thing that's ever happened" to him.

"Welp... I was one of them caught on this thing. 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 (messed) up but at the end of the day, I got lucky it wasn't worse."

Braggs also spoke to CNN about the incident, further describing the terror he experienced.

"We all were leaving the stadium from the upper deck. Got on the escalator. It was loaded, front to back. It shook and made a sound that scared everyone, and then it just gave way, turning into an out-of-control roller coaster. Some elderly people were injured very badly and trampled over," Braggs said.

Despite the loss, the Brewers remain atop the NL Central standings with a 49-34 record, and the Cubs are at the bottom with a 39-45 record.

The final game of the series will be on Sunday, June 30, at 2:10 p.m. EST.
