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."

And here are his photos...
