Sidewalk shed up on East 10th Street at the site of Saturday night's near-miss accident

Saturday night around midnight, a third-floor window lintel fell to the sidewalk in front of 341 E. 10th St. near Avenue B... narrowly missing a pedestrian... tonight, crews showed up to erect a sidewalk shed here for the ensuing building repairs...

...which means the NYPD no longer has to have a car parked here...

More on last night's falling window lintel on East 10th Street

We have more information about last night's near-miss accident on East 10th Street near Avenue B. Michael Sean Edwards was on the scene... He tells us that it was just after midnight when a third-floor window lintel fell to the sidewalk from 341 E. 10th St.

Per Michael:

"The main piece narrowly missed a young woman on the sidewalk. Considering the number of people on the sidewalk in front of and around the Blind Barber Bar, it is very fortunate that no one was injured. The police were on the scene and quickly taped off the area. The fire department responded, followed shortly by the Building Dept.

The area is now cordoned off and under police surveillance until the landlord erects a sidewalk shed and repairs the brickwork, which is visibly in pretty bad shape."
