NEW YORK (NEW YORK POST) -A New York man is dead after a freak accident in the East Village on Dec. 15 — when a tire swing smacked him in the face, police say.

Aleim Perkins, 39, of Harlem, went with his niece to a playground in the area around 4 p.m., authorities said.

While the girl was playing, he started to “aggressively swing” an empty tire swing. That swing later hit him in the face, rendering him unconscious and causing him to bleed from the mouth, according to police.

He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead, according to officials.
