Overview
- On December 13 at Ciudad de la Paz 300, a glass panel fell from a fourth-floor balcony onto a man seated outside a café, and SAME transported him to Hospital Pirovano with head and forearm lacerations.
- The victim, Pablo Daniel Balestreri, 50, says he received about 30 stitches to the head and surgery for a severed tendon in his left arm, and he remains in rehabilitation with ongoing pain.
- City firefighters accessed the unoccupied apartment linked to the incident and removed a second damaged blindex panel as a safety measure.
- The Unidad de Flagrancia Norte, led by prosecutor Amanda Berstein, is investigating the cause and potential negligence, while reports differ on the apartment owner’s whereabouts.
- Café staff applied tourniquets before emergency crews arrived, and viral security-camera footage of the impact has renewed focus on building upkeep and inspection rules.
