The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has reportedly been ordered to pay $22.75 million to a bike deliveryman who lost five of his toes after falling from a chipped subway platform in New York City.

A jury reached a verdict on Monday in favor of the victim, Maruf Hossain, awarding him $2.75 million more than the $20 million amount his original lawsuit sought, the New York Post reported. 

In a statement to the New York Post, Liakas said the MTA argued that Hossain tried to commit suicide and maintained that the platform where he fell from was not defected. The MTA also had a teenage witness who testified that she saw Hossain jump, but Liakas said the transportation network “likely authored the witness statement themselves and passed it off as an independent statement.”

Hossain, who insisted he did not try to commit suicide, did not have any history of issues with substance abuse or any documented psychiatric history. Hossain sued the MTA for negligence six months after the incident, according to the New York Post.

The verdict issued Monday could be further challenged or appealed.

“The MTA is reviewing the verdict while assessing all legal options,” MTA rep Meghan Keegan told the New York Post.

The MTA, which serves 15.3 million people, is the largest transportation network in North America. It serves areas surrounding New York City, Long Island, southeastern New York State and Connecticut, according to the MTA website.
