Family of 9-year-old boy thrown from Bronx rooftop sues building landlord
The 9-year-old boy who fell into a coma after being
thrown from a Bronx rooftop may soon testify in a civil lawsuit against his
landlord.
Attorneys for Freddie Martin’s father have filed a
lawsuit against Featherbed Holdings LLC, which owns the Nelson St. building
that 17-year-old Casmine Aska allegedly threw the younger boy from on Feb. 1.
Freddie, who plunged 50 feet, identified his attacker before slipping into a
coma. He is recovering.
Detectives charged Aska with attempted murder, yet
attorney Steven Hymowitz says the landlord played a pivotal role in the crime
by not properly monitoring the roof. Featherbed Holdings LLC created an
“attractive nuisance” for Aska, the multimillion-dollar suit claims.
