The New York Post is reporting today that Linda Cohn, an ESPN anchor, had her arm sliced open when a coin machine was pushed over on her as she prepared to make an appearance this spring at the ice rink in Brewster.

She tweeted this photo of the stitches March 27.

“This is what kept me from taking ice w @WolfpackAHL today,” she wrote. “Some kids playing in arcade knocked over metal machine onto my arm. 25 stitches!”
