Brooklyn Partygoer Seriously Injured In Fall From Balcony

A drummer from Williamsburg, Brooklyn had his head impaled by a steel fence rod after he fell from a balcony during a party in an apartment above the fence. He is recovering from his serious head injury in Bellevue Hospital’s ICU, where doctors say he will spend at least a week.

According to the New York Daily News, 21-year-old Nicholas Blossom, a rock and roll drummer from the bank Alaska Alaska who resides in Brooklyn, was attending a party in Chelsea on Friday night when he fell from the apartment’s balcony and onto the sharp, steel fence below. Rescue workers cut the young man from the fence on early Saturday morning with an electric saw but did not remove the rod from the man’s head until later that day. After the head injury, Blossom was not allowed to sleep for quite some time until doctors deemed it safe. He is now communicating and should make a good recovery.

Blossom was drinking on the night of the party and fell from a third-floor balcony onto the fenced railing of a second-floor balcony. The accident took place at around four in the morning. The rooftop party took place at Sixth Avenue, near 26th Street, in New York City.

Blossom had been sitting alone on a ledge, screaming that he "hated everybody" before falling – and the New York City Police Department received calls from neighbors about the disturbance before the fall took place.
