Emergency responders retrieved a man from the rocks surrounding Belvedere Castle in Central Park after he climbed over the gate separating the castle from the rocks and fell, police said.
The man had reportedly climbed over the gate because he dropped his cigar, witnesses at the scene said. He was on the rocks and trying to climb back up when he fell.
He broke both legs, said officials at the scene.
The man, who has not been identified, was taken to St. Luke's Roosevelt. He was expected to be treated and released Monday.
