Construction Worker Hit By Beam On Williamsburg Site: Officials

WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN — A Williamsburg construction worker was rushed to the hospital Thursday morning after he was hit on the head by a beam, officials said.

Emergency responders rushed to the construction site at 391 Hooper St. where a worker had been struck by a beam around 10:45 a.m., according to an FDNY spokesman and Department of Buildings records.

The worker stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest at the site, a medic told the New York Daily News.

The worker was rushed to Woodhull Hospital in unknown condition, FDNY said.

DOB inspectors who visited the site in September issued a three-day stop work order, citing a "failure to safeguard all persons and properties," city records show.
