A construction worker fell five stories to his death when part of a scaffold collapsed in Brooklyn, police said.
The worker had been resurfacing bricks on an apartment building’s facade in the Park Slope section when the accident occurred at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Police identified the victim as 42-year-old Henyrk Siebor, an employee of Nova Restoration, Inc., of Brooklyn.
Siebor was moving from one scaffold to another one occupied by two other workers when the second scaffold collapsed, Buildings Department spokeswoman Carly Sullivan said.
Siebor fell and the other two workers clung to the tilted scaffold where firefighters eventually pulled the workers through the building windows to safety.
The Fire Department one of the workers at the site was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries. Two other workers refused medical attention.
Nova Restoration did not immediately respond to a call for comment left on its answering machine Tuesday evening.
