NEWARK, N.J., April 10 (UPI) -- A U.S. congressman from New Jersey and his wife were hurt when they fell on an escalator at the train station in Newark, N.J.

U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., and his wife, Elsie, suffered cuts, a spokeswoman told the Star-Ledger of Newark.

The couple was going up to a platform early Monday afternoon to catch a train for Washington when Elsie Pascrell's suitcase got caught. She fell over the suitcase into her husband, knocking him backward, the newspaper said.

After they were examined at University Hospital in Newark, the Pascrells returned to the station and caught a later train.
