A tourist is headed back home from New York City with bruises, a black eye, and a chipped tooth after being intentionally tripped.
Cyndi Gradwell, 72, from Maryland arrived at Penn Station on Friday with her daughters. They were on a theater trip that was given to Gradwell as a Christmas present.
Then, of nowhere Gradwell says she felt a foot in front of her leg and she tripped falling flat on her face, her teeth hitting the concrete sidewalk. Gradwell has been to New York City before, and says she loves the city -- especially for theater. After the incident, she told Eyewitness News that she doesn't not plan to come here again. Even with her injuries, she is trying to make the best of the trip.
