On Friday July 23, 2010, at 9:00 PM, an unidentified 54 year-old man was standing under a tree on Brooklyn's Eastern Parkway, between Bedford and Rogers Avenues, during a storm. He was struck by lightening and critically injured.
Witnesses say that they saw the man fall and lose consciousness, and that, "His feet were smoking and he was bleeding from the mouth."
A bystander jumped in and began performing CPR on the electrocution victim. Shortly after, paramedics Brooklyn's Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center took over emergency care and were able to restore the man's heartbeat.
The man was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where was placed on a respirator to help him breathe.
