Cafe de Coral manager arrested after window pane falls onto Hong Kong street

Hong Kong police have arrested the manager of a major fast-food outlet after a window pane fell from the first floor and landed on a Kwun Tong street, injuring two pedestrians.

The pane, measuring two metres by 1.5 metres (6.6 feet by 4.9 feet), detached from the first-floor Cafe de Coral outlet in the Champion Court building on Hong Ning Road at about 3pm on Monday.

The glass, along with some food items, landed on the pavement below and shattered. Two male pedestrians, aged 68 and 51, sustained limb injuries from the shattered glass and were taken to United Christian Hospital in Kwun Tong for treatment.

Officers arrested a 53-year-old female employee on suspicion of allowing objects to fall from a height, a police spokesman said..
