The accident occurred at approximately 12 p.m. The worker fell from the upper deck and landed on a beam on the lower deck. In order to rescue him, Emergency Services Units had to cut through a fence and hook him with a rope.
“He was showing signs of shock, so we applied what we call a hasty harness,” Lt. Joseph Light from Rescue Company 5 in Staten Island told the news agency. “He was in a great deal of pain. He was conscious, but not alert.”
Paramedics reportedly transported him to Lutheran Hospital in stable condition.
