Witness David O'Brien said: "I was in Queen Street when the Domino's sign fell, it fell at 10.42am making a huge racket.
"The injured girl was still there with a crowd around her.
"I think the ambulance was there within 10 minutes and they treated her inside the ambulance, a critical car response car arrived half an hour later."
Police have been contacted for further information.
