A large piece of glass being installed on the 17th floor of a Midtown building came crashing down on the street below Wednesday, officials and witnesses said.
A piece of glass fell to the ground at around 12:04 p.m., police said. No one was injured.
Firefighters rushed to the scene and police temporarily closed off the street.
A construction worker at the scene said that the hoist-way started “moving up by itself.”
A worker was briefly stuck in the elevator shaft and rescued by firefighters.
