MIDDLETON, Mass. — A man was taken to the hospital after decorations crashed through the ceiling of a Massachusetts Market Basket store on Tuesday morning, officials said.
Emergency crews responding to the grocery store chain’s Middleton location shortly before 9:45 a.m. found a 49-year-old man suffering from non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Middleton Fire Department.
The man was transported to the hospital to be evaluated. There was no immediate word on the extent of his injuries.
The spokesperson noted that the decorations also landed near a second customer. That person was offered medical assistance “as a precautionary measure.”
A box filled with decorations in the attic of the store tipped over, sending the materials crashing through a ceiling tile, a spokesperson for the grocery chain said.
