A woman and a child were seriously injured this afternoon when a security gate at the Fifth Avenue Cat Clinic in Park Slope fell on them. The gate crashed down on the woman’s head and on the child’s foot.
You may have been wondering why a helicopter was flying over Park Slope earlier this evening. The two were rushed to Lutheran Hospital in Sunset Park. It is not the closest hospital (that would be Methodist) but it is the one with the best trauma department in the area.
