Elevator Cart Stuck at Tower’s South

The communications center said that an individual was stuck inside elevator cart no. 2 on floor 4 or 5. The officer responded to the scene.

Upon arrival, the officer made contact with the individual using the squad cell. She told the officer that the display panel inside the elevator was flashing between “4 SA and 5S,” so she was unsure of the exact floor.

The officer went to the main elevator control room located on floor 12, turned the power off to elevator cart no. 2 and went back to the fourth floor.

The officer opened the doors to elevator cart no. 2 and made contact with the individual. The officer asked if the individual had been injured, and she said she was not injured and did not need any medical assistance.

Due to the stuck elevator’s position, a chair was lowered to the individual and she stepped out of the elevator. The officer answered any questions the individual had, then ended contact.

The officer went to the Towers main lobby and notified the front desk staff of the incident. The staff said they would notify the hall director.

Afterwards, the officer contacted Schindler Elevator Company and provided the receptionist with details of the incident.

The receptionist said that the stuck elevator cart was entered for repair, then the officer ended the phone contact.
