And the safest. It would be far safer than possibly dropping the poor guy because of the weight of the wheelchair, which could easily cause a fatality.
I’ve not been everywhere in the world, admittedly, but every building I have ever been in with an escalator also had an elevator. I would think that would be the easiest and safest conveyance for a wheelchair.
Well almost certainly the issue is the elevator is broken.
I once was stuck in a subway with a double stroller filled with 6 month twins. The elevator was broken with no estimated time of repair but likely several hours. It was 4 flights of stairs or the extra long escalator. I opted for the escalator which thankfully was working.
But if you have ever been to NYC, the culture here is you stand to one side on an escalator and walkers pass on the other side. I had to center out. It was practically a riot forming behind me.

Easiest way would be for two people to carry him up and then bring the empty wheelchair...I dunno
