The foot of the unidentified male child was caught in an escalator at the "T" concourse, according to airport spokesman Herschel Grangent. Due to the incident, the escalator was shut down Tuesday.

Emergency medical technicians and Atlanta police officers were at the scene about 10 a.m., Grangent said. Grangent told Channel 2 the child was wearing "Croc-like" shoes.
