A six-year-old boy lost his index finger after his hand got caught in an escalator at a mall in mainland China. The boy was sent to the hospital, and his finger was later found inside the escalator, according to Chinese media Red Star News.

The boy’s parents are now demanding the mall to help pay for medical expenses, which had exceeded 20,000 yuan ($3,000) as of May 9.
