Fifty-six-year-old Shelton Stewart, a former New York doorman who slipped on a pile of pigeon droppings on a subway station’s stairs in 1998, has been awarded $6 million in compensation.

The New York Post reports that the trial took three weeks, but the jury took less than a day to award Stewart $7.67 million in damages. He’ll get only 80 percent of that, or $6.13 million, because he was found 20 percent liable for failing to avoid the poop pile the second time around.

New York City Transit has indicated that it planned to appeal.

Stewart was planning to use his windfall to buy a house and take his two daughters and grandchild to Disney World in Florida.
