Man charged with insurance fraud over 'fake fall'

WOODBRIDGE TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A New Jersey man says he injured himself when he slipped on some ice at work, but security video may tell a different story.

The video from last year appears to show Alexander Goldinsky, 57, throwing ice on the floor of a break room at a business in Woodbridge Township.

Moments later, Goldinsky appears to stand on the ice before lying down on the floor.

Prosecutors say he remained on the floor until being discovered.
