According to the Bloomington Police Department, the child suffered a minor head injury and was transported to the hospital Monday evening.
Authorities say the fall was not related to an escalator malfunction. Investigators determined the child was at the top of the escalator going down to Sea Life when the fall occurred.
There's two sets of escalators down to Sea Life. Police didn't specify if the child's fall came from the top or middle section. Top section would have been close to a 30ft drop. @WCCO #MOA pic.twitter.com/Ah5voQHOHT
