Police have reopened Eagle Street in the CBD after glass plummeted from a high-rise building overnight.
A police spokeswoman said it was believed the glass was from part of the pool fencing on level 39 at Riparian Plaza.
She said the falling glass was reported to police about 3.15am. No injuries have been reported; it is believed hot and gusty conditions may have contributed to the incident.
Shattered glass could be seen at the base of the building this morning, and had been fenced off by police.
A number of similar incidents have plagued the city's CBD in recent years.
In 2007, a pane of glass fell out of the prestigious Waterfront Place office block, narrowly missing pedestrians and cars below.
After a second incident at Waterfront Place in 2008, a temporary canopy was constructed over Felix Street to protect pedestrians.
Brisbane City Council issued a 'please explain' to Waterfront Place owners Stockland when it was revealed 215 windows had shattered in the past 18 years.
At that time Stockland revealed an impurity with a toughing agent used on the glass windows.
Also in 2007 glass crashed to the road on Queen Street, with some reports suggesting the building was struck by lightning.
