The incident occurred on Monday morning when glass shards of the fallen window from Nam Tin Building struck the right leg of a 68-year-old man surnamed Chu, police said.
A 64-year-old renovation worker, surnamed Ma, has been arrested for “allowing objects to fall from height” under the Summary Offences Ordinance.
After receiving a report at 9.12am from a passer-by, officers arrived at the intersection of King’s Road and Tin Chong Street.
After a preliminary investigation, police said the window was likely to have fallen from a high position at the site, with glass shards striking the injured man.
