Another balcony collapses, this time in Żabbar
It is the third such incident reported this week
A stone balcony in Żabbar collapsed onto the pavement below in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
No one was injured but stone debris slightly damaged a car which was parked right outside the house.
The balcony was situated on the roof of a bungalow on Triq id-Dukkar, directly above the front door of the private residence.
A police spokesperson told Times of Malta the incident happened at around 2am.
It is the third such incident to occur this week. On Wednesday morning the roof of an old house in Mosta collapsed. The house is next door to a construction site and authorities temporarily ordered a halt to works but later revoked the order.
On Monday two balconies collapsed in Qawra, crashing on top of a popular bar which was closed at the time. Construction works on an adjacent apartment block were stopped by the Building and Construction Authority.
The Żabbar residence is not located next to a construction site and the cause of the collapse was not immediately clear.
