A British woman has died and two other people have been seriously injured after part of an escalator in a Rome train station collapsed and they fell into the cogwheels beneath.
Police said the 63-year-old woman was caught in the wheels when she lost her footing. Two plates of the rolling escalator were missing.
Two men walking behind the woman were injured when they fell in after her. The first, who tried to save her, may lose a leg. The second injured his hand and is in shock, police said.
