Shocking CCTV footage has emerged from China of a boy who got his head under the handrail of an escalator and luckily escaping injuries after a bystander pressed the emergency stop button just in time.

In the video, captured on a security camera at a shopping centre in Guizhou Province on Tuesday, the boy is playing on the escalator handrail when he rolls down along with the conveyor belt and gets stuck at the edge. His mother anxiously holds his body yet fails to pull him free, until a girl pushes the emergency button to stop the machine. Other bystanders help the young mother free the boy.

According to news reports citing some witnesses, the boy was rescued without apparent injuries and taken away immediately by his parents.
