He was standing behind his mum on their way up to the platform when his boot is said to have got trapped.
Senior associate Ben Pepper said: ‘This family’s harrowing ordeal really shines a spotlight on the dangers of escalators and particularly the dangers of travelling with children.
‘It’s really disappointing to see Network Rail deny liability for this issue and we hope, through our ongoing legal investigation, we can identify those features of the escalator that were unsafe and ensure this tragedy doesn’t happen to anyone else.’ A Network Rail spokesman said: ‘The safety and wellbeing of our passengers is always our number one priority, and our thoughts are with the young boy and his family at this very difficult time.
‘Everyone in Network Rail and particularly the team at London Bridge station are saddened by this incident, however, while the case is ongoing, it would be inappropriate for us to comment any further at this stage.’
