3 hurt when glass falls from NYC office tower

NEW YORK (AP) — Glass has fallen from a midtown Manhattan office tower, injuring three people.

A fire department spokeswoman says two people were treated for minor injuries following the accident at 8:45 a.m. Thursday near 57th Street and Sixth Avenue. The third person refused treatment.

Published reports say a window appears to have shattered around the 18th floor, sending broken glass onto the sidewalk below.
