A worker was reportedly injured after falling from a bucket truck at Assembly Row in Somerville on Thursday. 

The incident happened near the River Bar, according to a WHDH report citing the Somerville Fire Department. An employee at the bar told the news outlet that they witnessed the worker putting lights on a metal structure before falling to the ground.

“I was working and I heard a loud noise, and I just saw the crane collapse and I saw the guy just hitting the ground,” Sergio Re told WHDH.
