Cowke Posted May 26, 2010 A four-year-old Turkish boy who fell from an escalator has narrowly avoided injury after being caught by a quick-thinking shopkeeper. Security camera footage taken several days ago at an Istanbul shopping centre showed the young Turkish boy climbing onto the outside of the escalator rail and riding it to the next level. When he reached the top the boy, named Ali, appeared to be unable to climb off, leaving him dangling about 6m above the ground. The shopkeeper spotted the child and ran to help, managing to catch the boy as he fell and potentially saving him from serious injury. "This type of incident has happened before," the shopkeeper told Turkish channel NTV. "Escalators are not children's playgrounds." The boy then left the mall with his father.
