Contrary to popular belief, black holes do not "suck in" matter. Just as the Earth's gravity will cause rain to fall downward towards its surface from the clouds above, a black hole will, through gravity, pull in any object that comes too close to it. The speed at which an object is pulled into a black hole isn't a simple, straightforward calculation, simply because there are a number of factors that can influence this (including: initial speed, acceleration, mass, direction of travel, among other things). However, if you were unfortunate enough to get too close to a black hole, you would end up reaching a velocity near or equal to the speed of light once you crossed the event horizon.

Their is not more info about this because there are no evidences of humans being sucked into black hole but once sucked in, the object which has been sucked in will not be able to escape out from black hole's event horizon as a black hole very very very very very strong gravitational field. But some scientists say that object which went into the black hole comes out through a white hole (which is just the opposite of black holes in all aspects)
