A worker fell from a ladder at a construction site at 80th street and Broadway on Saturday around 3 p.m., sparking a rescue effort and causing emergency workers to shut off traffic on Broadway.
The worker fell about 7 feet from the ladder, according to notes from the Building Department based on the report of the site safety manager. “No other issues” were reported, according to the notes.
