Surveillance footage shows that the elevator malfunctioned right away, rising even before the doors closed. From there, it’s a terrifying ride up that quickly turns into the kind of thing you expect in horror movies and nightmares.
The elevator stayed on the top floor until Acevedo was rescued and taken to a hospital, where he was reportedly treated for head and leg injuries.
