Eleven people were injured Saturday at American Family Field after an escalator malfunction following the Milwaukee Brewers game against the Chicago Cubs.
Six people were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and five more were treated for injuries at the ballpark, according to a statement from the Brewers.
The team says an escalator carrying fans from the terrace to the lodge level after the contest malfunctioned, causing an “increased downward speed.”
