A man found at a Brooklyn intersection last month with a serious foot injury has died from injuries city officials say he sustained from an MTA bus.
The 72-year-old victim suffered a serious injury on Feb. 18, around 6 p.m., after a bus hit the man while taking a turn near Brooklyn College, the Department of Transportation said in a release Friday.
Officials say the bus was turning onto Nostrand Avenue from Avenue H when it hit the man. It wasn't immediately clear where in the intersection the man was struck.
He was rushed to Kings County Hospital where he died on March 2.
