On Friday, a Middletown police officer dropped off a teddy bear for the toddler who was injured the previous evening in an accident on the escalator at the Oxford Valley Mall.
The little girl, who was about two years old and from Warminster, only suffered a flesh wound and lost part of a fingernail Thursday evening when her finger got tangled in the mall escalator, police said. At first, authorities were worried the finger was badly damaged or amputated.

The injury was non-life-threatening but required the girl to be flown from St. Mary Medical Center to a Philadelphia hospital. The toddler was released and with her family by Friday morning, police said.
The exact cause of the accident remains under investigation.
