Two pedestrians have been injured by what appeared to be material falling from a building facade in Auckland's CBD today.
A section of footpath was cordoned off on Queen St, and St John said two ambulances and one rapid response vehicle attended the incident reported shortly after 11am.
"Two patients, both in a moderate condition, were assessed and treated at the scene."
Police confirmed it was assisting emergency services at a building on Queen St where an object had fallen and shattered glass.

Banker Hayden Edwards said he was on break from work when he saw two people get hit with falling debris.
"There was a massive bang and I ran over, there were people who had been cut.
"An older gentleman had a massive cut on his eye, and there was blood dripping from his face, and I saw one other lady holding her forehead."
He said he was a bit shaken but okay after witnessing the incident.
"The glass broke the fall a bit, it could have been a lot worse."
The owner of a nearby shop said she heard a "big crash" out the front of her store.
"I was quite impressed, the police were here in one minute and there were a lot of people coming to help."
She said she wanted to know why the items fell from the building for the safety of her and her staff.
"We walk on the street everyday, one day, it could be us."
Auckland Council has been contacted by 1News for comment.
