A 34-year-old worker was stomped to death after hundreds of people piled into an opening Long Island Walmart Friday morning for Black Friday deals.
A Walmart worker was trampled to death in a Long Island Walmart on the morning of Black Friday - and a pregnant woman suffered a miscarriage after hundreds of deal-seeking people rushed the doors of the retail store.
The pregnant woman was found knocked over before being transferred to a local hospital. According to a news report, paramedics said the woman suffered a miscarriage.
The worker, who was killed after trying to slow down the unruly and rushing crowd of shoppers, was also found on the ground. A co-worker tells the NY Daily News: "He was bum-rushed by 200 people."
"They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too...I literally had to fight people off my back."
