Hundreds of people were gathered at City Hall Plaza in Boston Tuesday night for a big Celtics opening night watch party when all of a sudden, a drone fell from the sky.
Boston police say three people suffered non-life-threatening injuries from that drone around 7:30 PM just as the Celtics game was starting.
“I hear a loud sound, sounds like a banging sound, suddenly I feel something hit my head right here a sharp, I was initially very scared because there was a loud sound and then felt something sharp hit my head and then I hear the woman next to me scream and it seems like she was going to fall,” said Yousef Kobeissi, who was hit by the drone.
Several people saw a woman taken out on a stretcher after she was hit by the drone.
“For like an hour and a half I was standing in shock I was like, ‘Oh my gosh’,” said Derek Scrima.
Scrima says the drone also sliced his two fingers when it came crashing down.
“I was completely caught off guard, it was scary because my mind was like I could have just got my two fingers cut off,” said Scrima.
