Plaintiff was injured as she descended from an elevated subway station during rush hour when she allegedly stepped onto a concrete step from which a chunk of concrete was missing, whereupon she twisted her foot, fracturing it. She claims that the stairway was crowded and she was looking ahead rather than down as she started to descend. The absence of a significant portion of the corner of the step is readily apparent in photographs submitted by plaintiff.
