Protests delay trip of hurt MTA man

A CITY SUBWAY worker suffered massive leg injurie sin an accident Saturday at a Brooklyn train station, officials and his family said.

Worker Vincent Dobe, 50, was headed for Bellevue Hospital but switched to Lutheran Medical Center because protesters were flooding the Brooklyn Bridge when he needed to cross. Dobe, an 11-year Metropolitan Transportation Authority employee, was operating a work train at the Court St. station in Brooklyn Heights at about 7p.m. when he got pinched between his train and a crane-equipped cab.

In addition to his leg injuries, the married father of two may have a broken pelvis, said his brother Eric Dobe, 57.

Responding paramedics intended to rush him to Bellevue in Manhattan, said NYPD Chief of Department James O’Neill.

But the paramedics “had to reroute to Lutheran hospital in Brooklyn because of the protest on the Brooklyn Bridge,” O’Neill said.
