Caught on camera: Drunk teenager falls from escalator
Boston: A US teenager survived a 20-foot fall off an escalator and is now telling kids to think twice before paryting hard.

18-year-old Shane O'Malley of suburban Boston told police he was drinking before and during a concert in Cambridge and "obviously got too drunk, way too irresponsible."

While ascending a subway escalator after the show, he started climbing the handrail, lost his balance, and fell over the side, landing on a concrete floor below.

A security camera at the station caught the incident on tape.

O'Malley lay motionless as his friends rushed to his side.

His family says he was taken to the hospital and treated for an elbow fracture.

O'Malley now says his back hurts and it's difficult to get around.

He also warned other teens not to drink.

"It's not worth it," said O'Mally. "It can easily get out of control."
