Multiple people have been injured after escalators at a Scots railway station malfunctioned, reportedly sending passengers "flying" backwards on top of each other.
Emergency services were called to Argyle Street train station in Glasgow around 9am after a set of moving stairs carrying commuters up to street level began rapidly moving backwards. Witnesses said that the malfunction sent passengers toppling on top of each other, including a number of elderly people.
A pregnant woman is reported to have jumped onto the barrier of the escalator to avoid being caught in the crush. Police say that five people were treated at the scene for minor injuries, with four people taken to hospital.
