Narrow escape as glass pane falls from Leicester Square window

You heard it here first.

3.35pm
While the publice were happily distracted by the filming of a new BBC comedy being filmed in the centre of the square, people's concentration was broken by the sound of a loud crash from the opposite end.
While most of the square is mostly a pedestrian zone, the idea of a car crash seems impossible around the West End.

Following the direction of the crash revealed a glass pane had fallen from about the third floor window above Burger King to the ground below, where customers walk in and out.

Amazingly, noone was hurt in the freak accident. All that remains is the mangled glass frame on the ground and a perimeter of shattered glass.
Dazzled office workers stared outside from their desks.

Witnesses said they saw the glass pane as it fell to the ground. An off-duty BBC cameraman captured some of the scene after it had happened on film.
A first aid worker on the scene said there were no casualties.
