Was alone in the elevator – fingers caught: girl (3) caught in the elevator

Date:

On Monday, scary minutes must have happened for a little girl in Walchsee in the Tyrolean district of Kufstein: the toddler (3) stuck her fingers in an elevator door that no longer opened and was all alone in the elevator. The fire brigade had to open the cabin with heavy equipment.

The girl from Walchsee will not soon forget this shock: the three-year-old caught her fingers in the door of an elevator in a residential building on Monday and then got stuck in the cabin. According to the police, the mother had taken the stairs because the girl only wanted to take the elevator. When she heard her daughter cry, the woman raised the alarm.

The fire brigade came and opened the door with a hydraulic rescue device. “That was a challenge for my men,” said FF Walchsee commander Manfred Ritzer. “You couldn’t see the fingers from the outside, so we had to be careful where we put the rescue equipment.” After a few minutes, the emergency services were able to free the girl and the rescue took the three-year-old to hospital in Kufstein, she should not have suffered any serious injuries.

Children’s fingers were too short for the photocell
It is not clear how the elevator door in the relatively new complex – the residential building is a year old – could no longer be opened. The police investigation is still ongoing. According to the police, the fact that it closed completely, even though the girl had her hand in it, is due to the fact that the fingers of the little ones were too short to be grabbed by the light barrier.
