NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- New Yorkers scrambled for cover Monday night after the facade of a building in Manhattan partially collapsed.

Officials say nobody was hurt when bricks rained down from the building on Eighth Avenue near 17th Street in Chelsea shortly after 6 p.m.

The Department of Building was also on hand to determine the cause of the collapse, and the structural integrity of the building going forward.
