Police in Vancouver say a man was arrested Monday evening after throwing items from the window of a 10th-storey suite on the Downtown Eastside.
Yellow tape and police cars swarmed East Hastings Street between Main and Carrall Streets sround 7:30 p.m. — closing traffic in both directions for over an hour.
Officers say one person was injured by the falling items but the extent of their injuries remains unclear.
BC Emergency Health Services told Global News an ambulance supervisor was on scene but no one was taken to hospital.
The road has since reopened.
