In a park in Brooklyn, a tree branch fell and hit a man in the head. It happened around 8:15 am on August 13, when a man was sitting on a bench in the playground in the Reinaldo Salgado Park in Bed Sty, reports ABC7.
He was taken to the Kings County Hospital with a severe head injury and is in critical condition. The victim had no ID on him, so the cops worked to identify him.

The broken branch was about 12 meters above the man's head when she fell, according to a Parks Department spokesman.
The London Planetree tree was inspected by a parks forestry expert in August 2020. Then he said that the tree is in good condition. It was last trimmed in July 2020.
