A tree limb broke loose and fell on a Chinese food delivery man riding his bicycle at Coffey Park in Red Hook, causing serious injury.
The victim was in the middle of a delivery from the popular local restaurant, Ling Gee.
Witnesses say workers were pruning the tree and cut the branch loose as the rider passed below.
Workers had put up safety cones to block the area but the bicyclist appeared to have missed them, according to witnesses.
The Parks Department has not yet responded to a News 12 request for comment.
