My drunk leap city’s fault: suit

A Staten Island man who drunkenly jumped out of the back of a moving ambulance is suing the city for letting him leap.

Yaugeni Kralkin, 54, admits he was loaded up on cognac and wine last June after having “family issues.” He then took a bus to a hookah lounge, where he downed more booze, his attorney, Borislav Chernyy, said.

He made it back to his own neighborhood when someone called for an ambulance. The responding emergency medical technicians found Kralkin “sitting on the ground, uninjured, with unsteady gait,” court papers state.

On the way to the hospital, Kralkin was able to “unbuckle his straps on the stretcher, open the door of the ambulance and jump out . . . [He] landed on the concrete of Richmond Avenue” and was found unconscious, he said in the claim.

“They failed to care for him, because he was in no state to have any motor skills or make any decisions,” Chernyy said.

Kralkin suffered multiple facial fractures and a brain bleed, said the attorney.

He is suing the city, the FDNY and EMTs for unspecified damages.
