2 injured by falling branch in Brooklyn

Two people were seriously hurt after they were hit by a tree branch in Brooklyn this afternoon, authorities said.

The branch fell about 3 p.m., and hit a man and woman in the Ingersoll Housing Development on Monument Walk, according to an FDNY spokesman and witnesses.

“He looked like he was in bad shape, sprawled out on the ground,” said Gladys McMillian, 66. “The man looked like he was bleeding really badly from his head.

The poor man just couldn’t move. He couldn’t talk.”

McMillian added that a young woman was soaked in blood, and crying.

“She had bruises on her arms, and it looked like she had a hole in her head,” she said.

“That branch fell at least six stories down onto their heads,” said Sonia Siton, 67. “Their skulls could have easily been fractured. This is a danger zone, especially after bad weather or a storm.”

EMS rushed to the scene, and took the two to Kings County Hospital for treatment, the spokesman added.
