SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The same storefront at the Maine Mall where Santa Claus greeted children just over a week ago became the scene of a medical emergency.
An operator with the South Portland Fire Dispatch service said a man suffered an electrical shock on Wednesday morning in the vacant space formerly occupied by The Bon-Ton department store. More recently, the space was used as Santa's headquarters in the lead-up to Christmas.
Mall security placed the call for emergency medical help. The dispatcher said an ambulance took the man to the hospital for evaluation.
