SOMERVILLE, MASS. (WHDH) - A worker was injured in a fall at Assembly Row in Somerville Thursday afternoon, according to the Somerville Fire Department.
The worker was hurt near the River Bar, officials confirmed.
Flying above the scene, SKY7-HD spotted what appeared to be a cherry picker-style truck with police tape around it.
The bucket of the truck appeared broken with debris strewn on the ground.
A bartender at the River Bar across the street said the worker was putting up lights on a metal structure when he came crashing down.
“I was working and I heard a loud noise, and I just saw the crane collapse and I saw the guy just hitting the ground,” said Sergio Re.
Re said he immediately grabbed a phone and called 911 while running over to help the man. He said two doctors were in the area at the time.
“He was losing a lot of blood, but I don’t know, he wasn’t moving a lot,” Re said. “But luckily there were two doctors and they assisted him and the ambulance, after three or four minutes, arrived.”
The man was taken to the hospital as other workers cleaned up the debris left behind.
No additional information was immediately available.
