Woman Hit By Subway Roof Considers Suing City, Report Says

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS, NY — The woman who had pieces of a Brooklyn subway station's roof collapse on her might sue the city over the incident, the Gothamist reported.

The 27-year-old victim, Molly Scott, told the website that a doctor later confirmed she suffered a concussion from the incident and has been considering filing a lawsuit.

"I really would like to see some action on this, as there is a lot more ceiling left to fall at Borough Hall, and I don't know that the next person it falls on will be as lucky as I was," Scott told the Gothamist. "I want to do whatever it takes to actually have some change happen."

On Wednesday afternoon, Scott was standing on the platform of the Borough Hall stop of the 4 and 5 trains when the ceiling collapsed and hit her on her should at about 3:30 p.m., according to the MTA and FDNY.

Debris fell all over the subway platform and a light fixture was left dangling into the air afterward, photos posted online show. The FDNY said that Scott got minor injuries from the incident and refused medical attention on the scene.

Scott was on her way home to Connecticut and told the Gothamist she just wanted to get back after the ceiling fell on her.

"I wasn't offered medical attention and, honestly, was in shock and wanted to leave the station in case more of the ceiling fell," she told the site.

Andy Byford, NYC Transit President, blamed the fall on significant water damage and said it was an old station, the New York Daily News reported.

“Clearly, this kind of thing shouldn’t happen,” Byford said at the station.

Straphangers reported the station has shown signs of water damage for months, with the countdown clock turned off because of it, and other parts have been falling apart.

"There seems to be some pretty significant issues that aren't at all being addressed," Brooklyn Heights resident Jason Rabinowitz previously told Patch. "Pieces of the wall fall off routinely."

Aside from the water damage, Rabinowitz also posted photos on Twitter of duct tape holding the turnstile together and tiles coming off.
