Hoboken, NJ - Doctors have told investigators that state Sen. Bernard Kenny's injuries are not "consistent" with a fall, as he told police, and an investigation into the incident is now underway by the Hoboken Police Department and the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office.
Police responded to reports of a man lying between two parked cars on the 800 block of Bloomfield Street at 6:54 a.m. yesterday morning. Police arrived and found Kenny, 60, sitting on a curb outside 808 Bloomfield St. bleeding from his forehead and knee, police said. Kenny told the responding officers that he tripped in a pothole during his morning jog, police said. Kenny's home is less than two blocks from where police found him.
However, doctors at the Jersey City Medical Center told police last night that the extent and location of the injuries - a broken right fibula, four fractures in his pelvis, a fractured nose, and a dislocated right shoulder - are not consistent with what Kenny told police.
Police say Kenny can not recollect anything from yesterday morning other than it was raining.
"The lack of recollection is consistent with a traumatic event, and doctors tell us that he should begin to remember something soon. We hope to interview him as early as tomorrow," the police source said. [starledger]
