‘ Mow is me’ for NY man
GENESEE FALLS, NY — A good Samaritan trying to help an injured man turned out to be a bad Samaritan.
The Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office says a 58yearold man’s foot got stuck under his mower last week as he mowed a sloped lawn near an embankment.
His cries for help were heard by Christopher Ratcliffe, 31 , who had stopped at a nearby gas station.
Ratcliffe tied a rope from his car to the mower, but accidentally drove backward, dragging the man, the mower and his car over a 12foothigh embankment.
The mower landed on the man but he escaped with minor injuries.
