HAMILTON HEIGHTS, Manhattan (WABC) A pedestrian was injured after a construction fence fell over and struck her in the head in Manhattan Monday, officials say.
According to Department of Building inspectors, a construction fence in front of a 6-story building on West 144 Street and Broadway injured a woman when it fell over and landed on the sidewalk.
FDNY officials say the incident happened just after 5 p.m.
The granddaughter of the victim says her grandmother was walking down the street when she was struck in the head by the fence and ended up underneath a car.
people can probably do it pretty quickly, but this is not a border fence. this is a temporary construction fence that was put up for the construction of the permanent fence.

new mexico. we got no reply so we set out to get a closer look at the barrier. you can t get close to it on the american side, but you can when you make the short trip to mexico. we re american reporters from cnn on the mexican side. how s the construction going? we re not allowed to talk about it. sorry. reporter: everything safe? yeah, everything is safe right now. reporter: there was unhappiness about the construction in this desperately poor neighborhood outside of juarez, mexico. there s no question it s easy to scale this fence. possibly could probably do it quickly but this is not a border fence, this is a temporary construction fence that was put up for the construction of the permanent fence. the chain link fence gets taken down as the secure barrier takes its place. standard operating procedure, say the workers. the trump administration suggested two separate times it s responsible for the new barrier, keeping the campaign promise, they say. that s not true.
