MANHATTAN — A man was seriously injured early Monday when a Midtown parking garage elevator he was in plummeted several stories, FDNY officials said.
The man, whose name and age were not immediately released, was sitting in a car in an elevator of the Central Parking Systems garage at 154 E. 53rd St., near Lexington Avenue, about 12:50 a.m. when it fell, an FDNY spokesman said.
The FDNY responded to the scene and pulled the man from the elevator, a spokesman said.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center, where he was treated for serious injuries but listed in stable condition, officials said.
The FDNY left the scene about 1:50 a.m., a spokesman said.
Officials at Central Parking did not immediately return a request for comment.
The Department of Buildings is investigating the incident, a spokesman said.
The building has no open complaints, the DOB spokesman added.
