NEW YORK, Nov 12 — One person was killed and several others were injured Wednesday after a three-storey building collapsed near a construction site in New York, city authorities said.
Images from the scene showed firefighters sifting through a pile of rubble in front of what appeared to be a residential property with its walls torn down, exposing a bedroom and a clothing wardrobe.
US media reported that some people were pulled from the rubble, including a child carried out on a stretcher.
New York’s fire department said it received reports of people trapped following the building collapse at around 4pm (2100 GMT) in the Flatbush district of Brooklyn.
