Pedestrian injured by flying buzz-saw in construction accident in midtown Manhattan
A woman walking next to a New York City road construction site was injured by a three-foot buzz-saw blade that became detached, flew in the air and came shooting down the sidewalk. Construction workers were tearing up the roadway at 48th Street and 9th Ave to repair a water main when the accident happened. The woman suffered a cut on her leg. Thankfully nobody else was injured.
