Glass shard kills man in shop window
The 30-year-old was seen arguing with the woman in the Regent Street area of London's West End shortly after 2am.
Witnesses told police he hurled the woman against the window of a branch of Banana Republic up to three times.
After several blows, the glass shattered and the couple fell through, leaving the man fatally wounded.
Members of the public flagged down police who went to the shop, at the junction of Regent Street and Great Marlborough Street.
Paramedics also attended but the man was pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem examination is due to take place.

This is really interesting, not only about the fight but on Regents St with all those shopfronts that they didn't have safety glass ? Very strange that on such a busy street that they wouldnt have either laminated/toughened or both. The company I worked for, if they didnt install safety glass in lets say a front door they could be sued if someone fell through it etc etc. Over here its the law to install such glass.
