Maruf Hossain’s life changed forever when he lost five toes in a gruesome accident on a New York subway platform in Parkchester in June 2017. On Monday, a jury awarded Hossain close to $23 million for the accident, Peoplereports.
Hossain, then a 24-year-old bicycle delivery worker from Bangladesh, alleges he tripped over an “uneven” and “very narrow” New York City subway platform, fell onto the tracks and was hit by a train. He filed a complaint against the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), the City of New York, the New York City Transit Authority and the train controller.
According to court documents, Hossain sustained “injuries to the neck, back, head, legs, arms, hands, internal and external injuries to the whole body, lower and upper limbs.” Every toe had to be amputated from Hossain’s “mangled” left foot, according to a medical report filed to the court.
