The FDNY says a mother and her three children have been taken to a hospital in serious condition after a tree fell in Central Park.

Firefighters and police responded to the park at Central Park West near 62nd Street around 10 a.m.

They discovered that the 39-year-old woman was briefly knocked unconscious while she was trying to save her children from being crushed. Bystanders were seen trying to lift branches off her.

The mother had been walking with a baby strapped to her chest, while pushing the other two children in a stroller when the tree came crashing down.

The ages of the children were not known.

Online images and videos show the large uprooted tree on the ground, blocking the road.
