NEW YORK (AP) -- A man has filed a lawsuit saying he was injured when he was thrown off a mechanical bull in a Western-themed New York City restaurant.
Aaron Schnore's lawsuit accuses the midtown Manhattan restaurant of negligence for ``allowing and promoting an inebriated individual to use and ride the mechanical bull.''
Attorney Lawrence Saftler says his 38-year-old client had been drinking at Johnny Utah's in Rockefeller Center when injured May 7.
The lawsuit says someone sped the bull's bucking while Schnore was riding, causing it ``to become more violent'' in an effort to throw him off.
The lawsuit says Schnore was ``seriously injured'' but doesn't give specifics. It seeks unspecified damages.
No one at Johnny Utah's has returned a telephone message seeking comment.
