Tyreek Gomez was heading for school when he tried to board an S78 bus on Tompkins Avenue in December a🍌nd the door slammed shut on his leg.
The trapped 10-year-old was dragged about 25 feet before he was able to free🌠 himself, according to a published report.

The family is seeking🦩 unspecified damages. The city will review the claims. The authority declin๊ed comment.
