NEW YORK -- A man was seriously injured after falling more than 25 feet off a Shea Stadium escalator on Saturday night, the Mets announced, and was taken to an area hospital.
According to media reports, the 26-year-old man dropped from the box seating level and to the ground floor near Gate D and was taken to the hospital in an unconscious state. A Mets spokesman said the police and the club are investigating the incident.
In April, Antonio Nararainsami, 36, died after falling two stories from an escalator in the left-field section of the stadium. A 21-year-old man from Yonkers, N.Y., fell 100 feet to his death at Shea in 1985.
