Three pedestrians were hospitalised after the glass wall of a Tsuen Wan shopping mall shattered on Thursday, sending pieces of glass onto the pavement below.

Police said that at about 6.30pm, a five-by-three-metre section of the curtain wall cracked and fell from the fifth floor of Citywalk One.

Images from the scene show shards of glass littered across a cordoned-off section of the pavement on Wo Tik Street.

The pedestrians were hurt in the forehead and shoulders, and have been sent to Yan Chai Hospital for treatment.
