A street in North Point had to be cordoned off temporarily this afternoon after shards of glass from a building rained down on the street below, with fragments reportedly hitting a female passerby.
According to Headline Daily, the glass fragments came from a curtain wall — a layer of glass outside a building to protect occupants from the weather — from the 25th to 26th floor of a commercial building on 338 King’s Road.
The glass came from a panel on the building that was about 2 meters long and 1 meter wide.
An ambulance arrived at the scene to examine one female passerby who was hit by some of the glass fragments, but the newspaper reported she did not need to be sent to the hospital.
After a preliminary investigation, police said they couldn’t find anything suspicious about the incident, and that it was possible that the glass shattered because of a bird flying into it.
