Eleven people were injured at American Family Field in Milwaukee Saturday when an escalator malfunctioned following the Brewers baseball game against the Chicago Cubs. The escalator was moving fans from the Terrace to Loge Level of the stadium when it malfunctioned, “resulting in an increased downward speed,” the Brewers said in a statement on Saturday. Five of the 11 people injured were treated at the ballpark and six others were taken to area hospitals with “non-life-threatening injuries,” according to the team. People piled up on top of each other during the incident, according to Greg Braggs Jr., who was among those injured on the escalator. CNN has reached out to the Milwaukee Police Department for more information.
