COTABATO CITY — Eight people, among them children, were hurt when fragments of glass hit them after a protective siding of an escalator in a mall in Kidapawan City shattered in a peculiar incident on Friday.
Three of the eight victims were badly injured, according to the Catholic Notre Dame Broadcasting Corp., citing reports.
Local officials and the management of the Kidapawan Gaisano Mall, located along a stretch of a highway straddling through the center of the city, were investigating the incident.
