Five people were injured while riding a Washington, DC Metro escalator Tuesday morning at the L'Enfant Plaza station, according to the transit agency.
Metro said that at about 8:30 a.m. a customer’s bag or garment was caught in the side of the escalator at L’Enfant Plaza, which caused others to lose their balance and fall.
There were five people injured -- three were taken to a local hospital with cuts and scrapes and two were treated at the scene.
The escalator is being inspected.
