A child's right leg got stuck in an escalator at level 1 of Rivervale Mall on Aug. 29.
In response to Mothership's queries, the SCDF said it received a call for assistance at about 4pm on the day, and that the child was freed using hydraulic equipment and conveyed to KK Women's and Children's Hospital for treatment.
A photo of the incident was circulated on Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu.
It showed multiple firemen and other emergency responders gathered around the escalator.
