A stone fence crushed a 5-year-old Bushwick girl to death on Thursday.
Surveillance footage obtained by Brooklyn Paper shows Alysson Pinto-Chaumana outside her Harman Street home near Cyprus Avenue at 8:55 p.m. on Aug. 29, when the waist-high fence guarding the building’s courtyard falls, striking the child square in the head.
The girl’s mother — who was with her at the time — immediately rushes the girl’s limp body away from the shattered fence, footage shows.
Police released a statement on Friday claiming that the girl was pulling on the fence at the time of the collapse.
However, surveillance footage shows the fence toppling without provocation, and the girl was not touching it at the time of the incident.

After the girl’s mother flagged down a passing ambulance, and paramedics rushed the girl to Wyckoff Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, cops said.
