Ten injured as ice breaks panels in glass atrium

US authorities said ice broke through a glass atrium at the Sony Building in New York City and 10 people sustained minor injuries.

City building officials said ice fell from the 32nd floor on Saturday night. Two glass panels in the lobby were shattered.

Shirley Rozman was attending a party in the building when she heard “what sounded like some plates breaking”.

She said she then heard a pop. She says she “looked up and there was glass flying everywhere” and that it looked like a hail storm.

Fire officials said no one was seriously hurt. The injured were taken to area hospitals.

The Buildings Department issued a violation to the property’s owners for failing to maintain the Madison Avenue building.
