An eight-year-old boy was injured after his leg got stuck between the doors of an elevator at a residential building in Maharashtra's Thane city, an official said on Tuesday. He was later rescued by a fire brigade team and rushed to a hospital, regional disaster management cell chief Santosh Kadam said. The incident took place in the building located on the Eastern Express Highway here on Monday evening when Ved Yevle, who was wearing his skating shoes, was returning home after playing with other children, he said.

As the boy stepped into the elevator, one of his legs got stuck between its doors when the lift was on the second floor, he said.
