NEW YORK ? A grand jury has indicted a repairman on criminal charges in an elevator accident that maimed a woman visiting a New York City hospital.
Brooklyn prosecutors say maintenance worker Jason Jordan wrongly disabled a safety switch that was supposed to stop the elevator from moving with its doors open.
Last Christmas, a 47-year-old woman was getting onto the elevator at SUNY Downstate Medical Center when it lurched into motion. Her arm and leg were trapped and crushed, but she survived.
Jordan was charged Thursday with assault and reckless endangerment. He says it was an accident and happened after he left the hospital.
The case is unrelated to a fatality Wednesday, when an advertising executive stepping into a Manhattan elevator was dragged and crushed.
