DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Broken glass rained down from an upper level window of a building on Tuesday afternoon, landing in a baby carriage and sending pedestrians scattering, though no one was seriously injured, witnesses and fire officals said.
Emergency workers responded to reports of fallen debris just before 4:30 p.m. at 81 Willoughby St., FDNY officials said. They took one patient, who witnesses said was a baby in a carriage, to Brooklyn Hospital Center with non-critical injuries.
The incident was first reported by Gothamist.
"I heard a crash and looked out and you could see that the window had broken," said Ben Zeman, an attorney at a law firm across the street from the incident. "Some had fallen on one of the cars and some had fallen into the carriage."
