A pedestrian was injured after a billboard fell down on the street in city’s Motijheel area on Sunday afternoon.
The identity of the victim could not be known immediately, police said.
The billboard fell down across the street from the Sonali Bank Limited headquarters around 4:00pm, Motijheel Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Farman Ali said.
The accident left a man with minor injuries and a rickshaw was damaged, the police official said.
The man was sent to the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital, he added.
The iron structure, which landed on the street,
disrupted traffic towards Arambagh, Paltan and other areas from Shapla Chattar, one of the busiest intersections in the capital.
The OC said that they had contacted the Dhaka South City Corporation for removal of the billboard as soon as possible.
However, police could not locate the billboard’s owners immediately.
