Pedicab Hit Bump, I Got Dumped

A Brooklyn woman has sued the city claiming she was thrown out of a pedicab and injured when it hit an unidentified bump on a Central Park roadway.

Ana Perez' court papers say the accident occurred on the park's East Drive near 72nd Street in April 2007. Perez says she was thrown onto the roadway and suffered a serious head injury. She says the pedicab lost control when it hit the bump.

The bump was not described in the court papers.

Perez filed the lawsuit Friday in Manhattan's state Supreme Court. She says the city failed to maintain the roadway properly and she accused the pedicab driver, Sherif Hamouda, of "carelessness, recklessness and negligence," according to The New York Post.

Her lawsuit asks unspecified damages.

Perez' lawyer, Stuart Perry, told the Post his client now suffers from headaches, blurred vision and an inability to concentrate as a result of the "closed head injury" she incurred.

A city Law Department spokeswoman said her office had not received the lawsuit and had no comment.
