BUSHWICK-BROOKLYN— A worker was injured when a Bobcat
tractor he was driving flipped over inside a construction site for a group of
three-family homes, officials said.
The 34-year-old man, whose name not immediately
released, was carried to an ambulance on a stretcher about 1 p.m. from a
construction site at 573 Van Buren St., near Broadway, according to NYPD officials and
witnesses.
The Twitter account for the NYPD's 83rd Precinct, which
oversees the area, published a photo of the overturned Bobcat enclosed in a
small space by concrete walls.
The worker was treated at Kings County Hospital, an FDNY spokesman said.
The Department of Buildings is investigating the
incident, a spokesman said.
The site has an open violation from October for
deviating from approved building plans, according to the DOB website.
