NEW YORK — Authorities say two workers were rescued after a scaffold platform started swinging in the wind and shattered windows on a luxury high-rise more than 40 stories above lower Manhattan. A passerby was hit with falling glass but declined medical treatment after the mishap Friday morning. Police say the workers were installing windows when the wind spun the scaffold around, smashing several windows. Fire Department Lt. Cris DiBenedetto says firefighters helped the workers off the scaffold and through a 45th-floor window. The city Buildings Department says the scaffold hadn’t been properly secured.
