Security Gate In Park Slope Falls On Nanny and Boy; Serious Injuries

A nanny and a young boy were seriously injured after a security gate collapsed on them on a Park Slope sidewalk Thursday.

The metal gate at 225 Fifth Ave. at President Street -- at the 5th Avenue Cat Clinic -- crashed to the sidewalk about 4:15 p.m., hitting the woman in the head and the child in the foot, according to DNAinfo.

The nanny had a bystander call the boy's mother, who was nearby and rushed toward the scene of the accident, yelling "What happened?"
