A commuter escaped injury this morning after his pants got sucked into an escalator at Davis Station, an MBTA spokesman said —the second escalator-involved mishap at a T station in as many days.

“At Davis this morning, the leg of a man’s pants got caught in an escalator. He was not injured,” MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo told the Herald. “The unit has been taken out of service while personnel check the escalator to make sure it remains functional.”

Greg Murphy said he was taking the T to work when he happened across the bare-legged victim and a disabled escalator at about 8:30 a.m.

“I saw two MBTA workers at the bottom of the stairs, a guy wearing some fashionable blue gym shorts, and some pants at the bottom of the stairs that looked like they had been sucked in,” Murphy said. “He looked fine. He was just standing there, he had his backpack up on the side there and they seemed to be taking some information from him for a report.”

This morning’s incident comes on the heels of an emergency situation yesterday involving an 89-year-old Malden man who fell while riding an escalator at the MBTA’s Chinatown Station and ended up hospitalized after his coat became tangled in the machinery.

That escalator was later inspected by the state office of public safety, Pesaturo said, and was cleared to be returned to service after no defects were discovered.

“Customers are urged to please be mindful of loose clothing, keeping it clear of steps and sides and to stand clear of the sides of the escalator,” Pesaturo said. “It’s also important that escalator users face forward and keep a firm grip on the handrail.”

As for the man who lost his pants this morning, Murphy said “He seemed to be taking it all in stride. He was keeping it cooler than I do on my best day.”
