Manhattan County Clerk Milton Tingling — who gained fame as a judge for ruling against former Mayor Bloomberg’s soda ban — is being sued by a pal for letting him off on a ramp to busy Harlem River Drive, where they were hit by a car.
The ex-judge stopped his car near West 155th Street last October, according to the new Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.
Cornelius Wells, 65, was getting out when a Jeep hit them from the rear, said Wells’ attorney Mark E. Seitelman.
Wells suffered injuries to his shoulder and ankle, Seitelman said.
“It’s an issue of whether it was a safe place to leave off the passenger,” he said.
Tingling did not return messages for comment.
