Suit: NYC eatery patron hurt by falling moose head

[December 30, 2009]  NEW YORK (AP) -- A Web designer says she was struck by the decor at a New York City restaurant -- when it fell on her head.

Raina Kumra says in a negligence lawsuit filed last week that a 150-pound stuffed moose head with 3-foot-wide antlers plummeted off a wall at the Scandinavian-themed White Slab Palace on Oct. 4 and hit her. She says she suffered a concussion and other injuries.

The owner of the Manhattan restaurant hasn't returned a telephone message left by The Associated Press. Nor has Kumra, who's representing herself in the case.

Kumra filed her lawsuit in state Supreme Court in Manhattan. She's seeking unspecified damages.
