HARTSDALE, NY — An injured hiker was rescued in Hartsdale Saturday.

The Hartsdale Fire Department said in a Facebook post that it received a call around 2:20 p.m. Saturday about an injured hiker in the area of the Hart’s Brook Park Reserve.

After an investigation, an injured woman was found on the Orange Trail about one-quarter mile into the woods.

She was assessed and treated, but it was found that she was not able to walk.

Fire department personnel said that moving her to the ambulance that was waiting on the main road was going to be “an arduous task.”
