One witness told the News that the construction worker had to be brought down from the third floor in a rescue basket, or litter, and that the man was ‘bleeding from the head.’
The construction worker was then taken to Bellevue Hospital.
Despite the fall and hitting his head, it’s said that the construction worker didn’t suffer any serious injuries.
Three of the building’s seven stories have been built so far. The building is expected to house luxury apartments as well as a retail space.
