The courageous British tourist who lost her leg in a horrific Midtown accident was released from Bellevue Hospital today—and said she plans to return again someday to New York.
“I hope to come back one day,” Sian Green told the Post shortly before she was released from Bellevue Hospital today. “It’s not the city’s fault. It was the man who made a bad choice, I can’t blame the city for that. It’s a beautiful city and I’d love to come back.”
Green plans to spend time with her mom tonight at her hotel, and head back to London over the weekend.
She said she just wants to “sleep with my mom in a big double bed in the hotel,” and enjoy a chicken meal.
“It feels fantastic,” she said, of being discharged.
Green doesn’t plan to let the accident slow her down her dreams — she hopes to model again and have her own clothing line, as well as head back to school in Leicester within a few weeks.
“This won’t stop me from doing that,” she said bravely.
She is currently undergoing occupational therapy to relearn day-to-day activities like showering, as well as physical therapy.
The grisly crash happened during the second day of her trip to the Big Apple with her best friend Keisha Warren.
“The only thing I really wanted to do was go to the top of the Empire State Building,” she said, and added that the two had also wanted to visit the D-A-S-H boutique in Soho, the store run by the Kardashian sisters. “I wanted to go shopping, meet up with a few friends, do the typical New York things.”
Her lawyer Dan Marchese said cabbie Faysal Himon, who has not been charged so far in the investigation, deliberately tried to hit the bike messenger he was arguing with when he struck Green.
“What we want is justice for Sian,” he said.
