Ben McKenzie Suffers Head Injury on 'Gotham' Set

Ben McKenzie had a scary moment on the set of his show Gotham – and it all happened on his birthday as well.

The 36-year-old actor suffered an injury to his head when he ran into a concrete pillar on Friday (September 12) in New York City.

“Happy Birthday to me. Fight sequence gone awry. Don’t ram your head into concrete pillars kids. #gotham,” Ben wrote on Instagram. He later added a picture of the gash with the caption “Holy concrete wall, Batman!”

The next day, Ben updated his fans on his condition.

“Doc Sherman at New York-Presbyterian, you are a career saver. Thanks for stitching me up nice. Back to work Monday,” Ben wrote.
