Buffalo, NY (July 30, 2025) — A downtown Buffalo pedestrian was hospitalized Tuesday afternoon after being struck in the head by falling bricks outside a high-rise building.

According to reports, Buffalo police responded to the Liberty Building at approximately 1:10 p.m. on July 29 following calls that debris had fallen from the structure. Authorities say the bricks reportedly came from the 13th floor of the building and struck a man walking below.

Emergency responders treated the pedestrian on scene, noting he was conscious and responsive. He was then transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. The extent of his injuries has not been disclosed at this time.

A full investigation is underway to determine what caused the brickwork to dislodge and whether any structural deficiencies contributed to the incident. City officials are also reviewing the building’s maintenance history.
