Someone is throwing things from 10th floor of a Vancouver building
Vancouver police have closed off a major intersection on the Downtown Eastside as someone is throwing objects from a 10th floor suite.
At least one report on Twitter suggested someone threw a TV out of a window, on East Hastings between Columbia and Carrall Streets, but that detail has not been confirmed by police.
In a tweet on Monday evening, the force says one person has been hurt on the sidewalk.
