Storm damage: Pedestrian injured by falling debris on Avenue A and 3rd Street



More damage from tropical storm Isaias along Avenue A at Third Street. A broken branch crashed down on the sidewalk bridge early this afternoon, sending some of the plywood to the street level where a man was struck in the head by the debris. He was bloodied, but conscious. EMTs took him to a hospital.

Local merchants, including Leti, the owner of Downtown Yarns, Frank from Two Boots and workers from the Essex Card Shop, helped secure the area with caution tape...
