A horror scenario in which clothing is drawn into a machine has played out in the Montreal subway with fatal results. A woman estimated to be about 48 years old was at the Fabre station this morning (Thursday, January 31, 2014) when her hair and scarf became entangled in a subway escalator. Police say that somehow the moving staircase grabbed the woman’s scarf. “She tried to pull the scarf free but her hair got entangled and she was apparently strangled to death,” a police spokesman said, citing witnesses and surveillance video.
