Falling moose head gives restaurant patron concussion

A woman is suing a bar on the Lower East Side, New York - where she says she was struck by a stuffed moose head.

In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Raina Kumra says she was minding her own business at the White Slab Palace on Delancey Street in October when, at around 1 a.m., a moose head "dislodged and struck plaintiff on the head."

"The taxidermy moose head weighed approximately 150 pounds, with antlers spanning over three feet," the suit says.



The impact gave Kumra a concussion and caused her "chronic neck pain, anxiety, fatigue, dizziness and other serious and severe personal injuries," including "embarrassment," the suit says.

The suit says that since the incident, her "overall health, strength and vitality [have] been greatly impaired."

The suit seeks unspecified money damages from the bar for "failing to ensure that the plaintiff and other patrons of the defendants would not be struck by the loosely affixed . . . moose head."
