This in from the 76th Precinct:

At approximately 4:40 pm this afternoon, a large tree branch fell from a tree inside Carroll Park.  The branch fell in the vicinity of the  the World War I memorial, on the Carroll Street side of the park.  1 man received what we believe are very minor injuries, and was removed to the hospital for evaluation.  Fortunately, no other people were injured, and there were no serious injuries.  Specialists from the Parks Department are already on the scene evaluating the condition of that tree, as well as all of the other trees in the park, and will take appropriate steps to ensure the safety of park-goers.
