A girl in northeastern China suffered from a graphic injury after getting her head caught between a handrail and a wall while riding an escalator.
The incident took place at a shopping mall in Liaoyang, Liaoning Province, according to Eastday.
In a surveillance video, the girl ascending the escalator can be seen peering down from the handrail on her left side.

Sadly, she did not notice the wall above and struck her head against it upon impact.

A pair — presumably a mother and son — riding the escalator ahead of the girl rushed in shock after witnessing her ordeal.
