Prosecutor Releases Surveillance Footage of Man Staging Slip and Fall

A man was arrested on January 15 in connection with fraudulent insurance claims he filed after staging a “slip and fall” incident at his workplace in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey.

The man, identified as Alexander Goldinsky, filed claims on September 1 and November 1, 2018, seeking reimbursement for ambulance service and hospital treatment, according to a statement released by the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office on January 31.

In addition to their statement, the County Prosecutor’s office released surveillance footage recorded at the Woodbridge Township workplace where the alleged fraudster staged the “slip and fall” incident. In the footage, Goldinsky is visible filling a cup with ice from a soda fountain, pouring the ice on the ground, and then laying down next to the mess. He remained on the ground until he was found by colleagues. Credit: Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office via Storyful
