On January 20, 1993, a 4-year-old child, Michael MacIntosh, got his jacket sleeve stuck at the bottom of the escalator after straying from his family. Bystanders helped him stay conscious until paramedics arrived and free his injured left arm, this was later seen on Rescue 911 on May 4, 1993, on CBS. Whilst the incident happened at Rundle Station, the Rescue 911 episode was actually filmed at Bridgeland-Memorial Station for the station had better lighting at the time.
