Watch: Glass falls from the Shangri-La hotel for the second time in 2013. Carey Marsden reports.
TORONTO – A man in his 50s was injured Tuesday after falling glass from the Shangri-La Hotel landed on him.
The pane of glass fell 23 floors from a building near the corner of University Avenue and Adelaide Street West before hitting the man.
The man’s injuries don’t appear to be serious. Police say he walked into the lobby of the Shangri-La hotel and called 911.
He was later taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The glass fell from a balcony in the residential portion of the Shangri-La, according to hotel general manager Richard Cooke.
Traffic in the area was slow as police investigate and crews picked up broken glass.
This incident is the second time this year that glass has fallen in the area. In January, a pane of glass fell from one of the upper floors of the Shangri-La hotel. No one was injured but it forced police to close the area for several hours.
