A man was taken to hospital after a falling shop sign hit him in St Neots town centre on Tuesday (July 1).
The man was hit by the Clinton sign from the card shop along the High Street at around midday as he walked down the path with a woman.
An eyewitness, who was working in the British Heart Foundation charity shop opposite when the incident happened, said as the sign fell it also smashed the shop window, which has since been replaced.
He added: "After I heard the crash, I came downstairs and I saw a man with a bleeding head go inside the shop. Another man rang for an ambulance.
"As soon as it happened they put ladders around the sign to keep people away from it. I don't know if they closed the shop, I couldn't tell."
Clinton Cards were unavailable for comment.
