Bricks falling from the former Long Island College Hospital (LICH) in Cobble Hill, now an active demolition site, injured two workers at roughly 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
FDNY reported to the city’s Department of Buildings (DOB) that bricks were falling from the former hospital at 339 Hicks St. near Atlantic Avenue.
NYPD received a 911 call to come to the aid of a male in front of the building shortly before 1 p.m., a police spokesperson told the Brooklyn Eagle.
