One man suffered a serious injury after a broken roof window fell on him and the glass cut an artery on his leg.
Another man suffered a head wound and four women were treated with lighter head and back injuries after they slipped and fell down in the heavy rain.
Firefighters had to assist in the storm. They drained water from some cellars and removed fallen trees and branches from streets in the capital.
They also had to drain water from a hall of the Můstek underground station on Wenceslas square in the city centre.
Summer storms have been bringing scenes of drama to parts of Spain.
A 15 minute long cloudburst flooded the streets to Cuenca to a depth of nearly a metre of water. Vehicles were covered in places and some people found themselves wading up to the waist. Shops, garages and some homes were flooded in several regions of the city, and the hailstones reached three centimetres in diameter at times.
Valencia, Alicante and the south of Castellón saw the worst of the storms and the weather forecasters said that as much as 40 litres per square metre could fall in some areas.
Storms in Tarragona and Valencia caused delay to both long distance and local train services. The drainage system overflowed in Murcia, while fires were caused by lightening in Fortuna, Yecla and Jimilla.

'Strange deaths': Seven incidents involving common and grey seals were reported in Scotland in the last two months
Seven incidents involving common and grey seals, such as the one pictured below, were reported in the past two months alone in St Andrews Bay and the Firth of Forth, Scottish officials said.
Carcasses washed ashore showing a single, smooth-edged cut starting at the head and spiralling around the body. Experts do not believe the injuries were caused by fishing nets or boat propellers.
Environment Minister Richard Lochhead said: 'It's critical that we establish the cause of these strange deaths and do all we can to protect our seal populations, particularly as numbers have reduced in recent years. I would encourage anyone who encounters a seal carcass to contact the Sea Mammal Research Unit.'

Bus passengers were involved in a dramatic boat rescue in western Sweden on Friday morning, 13 Aug 2010
Emergency services were inundated with phone calls from home owners whose basements were flooded as the incessant rain made its presence felt.
The region's main city, Malmö, was pounded by 66 millimetres of precipitation in a few short hours, according to meteoroligical agency SMHI.
Rescue workers were also called out to help motorists whose cars had stalled in the rising waters.
Per Bergkvist was out driving on Malmö's inner ring road when he ran into difficulties around the Fosie exit, local newspaper Sydsvenskan reports.
"The water reached up to the car doors," he told the newspaper.
Feliciano Mariano said he and his family woke up with their house on the 3rd Street in the same village already submerged in water.
Even the house of Francisco Barredo, the city's Social Welfare Officer, was not spared.
"Water is rising and current is very strong, people have to be evacuated immediately," Barredo said Sunday morning.
He said two other riverside villages, Boalan and Tugbungan, suffered the same situation.
At around 7 a.m. Sunday, two Air Force helicopters flew over the flooded villages.
Naval Forces Western Mindanao commander Rear Admiral Alexander Pama said two teams of disaster relief and rehabilitation personnel were able to rescue at least 24 families.
Pama said evacuation and rescue operation continued as 4 p.m. Sunday.
Zamboanga City Water District spokesperson Dolly Galvan said due to continuous rains, the water level at the Pasonanca dam has reached the critical level of 75.5 compared to the normal level of 74.

The west side of the volcano, on the Kermadec Ridge, 200km northeast of Auckland, collapsed over the past several years, reducing its height by 120 metres, Niwa marine geologist Richard Wysoczanski said.
The collapse was confirmed during an oceanographic voyage during May and June this year.
"Our seabed is a lot more active than we thought," Dr Wysoczanski said.
"These volcanoes, as well as the non-volcanic ridges, can also cause landslides that could potentially generate a tsunami that would impact on New Zealand."
Dr Wysoczanski said the first leg of the voyage focused on geophysical surveying of the Kermadec Arc seafloor and seafloor massive sulphide deposits that sometimes develop over hydrothermal vents.
Rumble lll is one of more than 30 large submarine volcanoes on the Kermadec Arc which are rich in iron, lead, zinc and copper.
"We are investigating these volcanoes and mineral deposits to determine their size and the biological communities they support," Dr Wysoczanski said.
