Construction worker falls down hole in Harlem, FDNY says
Emergency crews rescued a construction worker who fell into a hole in Harlem on Wednesday morning.
The incident happened just after 9 a.m. at an MTA construction site near Second Avenue and East 108th Street.
The FDNY said the worker was leaning on a two-by-four, which either broke or slipped.
He fell 8 feet down the hole, according to the MTA.
The worker was removed and transported to a nearby hospital.
A large emergency response was around the area. The MTA is doing a routine safety "stand down" as a result.
