Narrative:
Upon landing on flight XXX from jfk to gig, my position was flight attendant #9 and I was sitting on my designated jump seat. The serving cart facing my jump seat started to move and rolled and it was just being held on the top latch. I told flight attendants #2 and #3 that the cart was coming dislodged. In several seconds the cart tipped over. I turned my back and lifted my feet to protect myself. The cart fell on my feet. I was taken by the agent to receive medical assistance and then sent by the doctor to have x-rays taken.
