Marion Hedges, an agent at Prudential Douglas Elliman, has been seriously injured after being hit by a shopping cart thrown off the fourth floor of a parking garage in East Harlem, the New York Post reported.
Hedges, who works out of Elliman’s office at 575 Madison Avenue, was hit while shopping for candy with her 14-year-old son on the ground floor of the garage and rushed to Harlem Hospital where she remains unconscious.
“It’s just her lying in a bed unconscious with 50 thousand tubes in her,” her father-in-law told the Post. “She’s stable, they’re keeping her stable and her respiratory system is functioning.”
Two 12-year-olds were arrested over the incident which occurred at the East River Plaza garage on 116th Street near the FDR Drive.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Marion and her family as we wish her a full and speedy recovery,” Dottie Herman, president & CEO of Prudential Douglas Elliman, said in a statement to The Real Deal. [Post]
