Bronx Man Fatally Crushed by Store Security Gate



A Bronx business owner was killed by his own security gate Friday morning.


It happened just before 6 a.m. at a flavored ice shop located at 157th Street and St. Anns Avenue in the Melrose section.


Police say the owner was trying to open the gate when it fell on him.


He was declared dead at the scene.


Neighbors say the man has owned the business for a long time, and runs it with his daughters.


“I know they tell him ‘Papi why you go so early over there?’ ‘Ah I’ve been doing this so long so ain’t nothing’s gonna happen.’ Well thing happened,” said one neighbor.


“It’s sad, it’s really sad. I’ve known him since I was a little kid like I said and it’s hard,” said another neighbor.


Police have not released the man’s name yet.
