There has been another incident of glass falling from a condominium in downtown Toronto.

Police say no one was hurt but there was vehicle damage when glass fell from a balcony onto the roadway at Bay and Grosvenor Streets late this morning.

Const. Tony Vella says workers were removing a glass sheet from a balcony when it shattered, causing it to fall.

The area has been blocked off and police are on the scene.

City workers are cleaning up the glass.

There have been several incidents of glass falling from Toronto condo buildings, including one where a woman was injured when a glass panel fell onto Bay Street.

The developer has said tempered glass used on the balconies of the buildings would be replaced with laminated glass.
