From the May 23, 1873 edition of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

“Andrew Brady, of Flatbush, was knocked down and run over yesterday, by a manure wagon, owned by C.C. Cowenhoven, of Canarsie, and the wheels crushed the ribs on his right side, injuring him badly. He was found lying on the Flatbush road by Roundsman Penfold and Officer Murphy of the Twelfth Precinct Police who conveyed him to the hospital.”
