An awning on a Brooklyn Heights building collapsed onto the street on Sunday, but luckily no one was hurt.

A 10-feet by 20-feet awning on what was once the Hotel St. George on Clark Street fell onto the street, which blocked the 2/3 Clark Street station exit, according to City Council Member Lincoln Restler. 

"I am profoundly relieved no one was hurt," Restler said on Instagram.

The 2/3 trains are skipping the Clark Street station and will not reopen until an investigation is concluded, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
