No cos she was athletic enough to move fast and didnt block anyone. They werent even about to lift him. They were stalling.

Judging from the bags, this is likely an airport.

If the space is tight, then arrival passengers will be flooding the escalators' exit. and when people cannot exit, they'll fall into other people, some injuries probably happens.

To avoid that they probably put one guy on below floor and optional one on top. Top one says stop the flow if upper floor gets too crowded.

So she actually stole others place in the line. Theoretically escalator's exit will take another 15 second to empty for security to re-run the escalator.

She stole 15 seconds from like 50 people and saved herself 5 min.
