Near-miss in Tompkins Square Park as branch falls
On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Tompkins Square Park, a large branch from a majestic American Elm came crashing down to the ground inside the Avenue A-St. Mark's Place entrance...
Witnesses said it came very close to hitting a man in a wheelchair (thanks to Janie Heath for the clip)...
Updated:
This is the second branch to fall in the Park in recent weeks... on May 16, a young parkgoer escaped injuries after being hit by a limb that fell in the dog run — also on a calm, sunny day.

Parkgoer escapes injury after a branch falls in the Tompkins Square Park dog run
Photos by Steven
Parkgoers are buzzing about a tree limb that fell early last evening in the Tompkins Square Park dog run.
According to several witnesses, the branch struck and knocked over a young woman believed to be in her teens who was inside the dog run.
Bystanders rushed to her aid and were relieved to see she was OK. (One witness said that she was screaming, though apparently about the bugs she encountered in the fall.)
This morning, a concerned parkgoer told us: "I have been asking [the Parks Department] for years to prune the trees in the dog run. Look at the rest of the trees in the park, then look at the trees in the run, which hundreds of people sit under every day. This happened last night ... with no wind or storms."

Snow brought down a massive branch of a tree across East 10 St. and Avenue C. Neighbors came out of their apartments and stores to help clear the street.@evgrieve @edenbrower #FirstSnow #snowday #nycsnow pic.twitter.com/84dfLcay8i
