A building collapse in Brooklyn left multiple people trapped underneath large piles of rubble, according to officials, as firefighters worked quickly to find those stuck in the debris.
The collapse occurred around 4 p.m. Wednesday near the intersection of Bedford Avenue and Flatbush Avenue in the Flatbush neighborhood, the FDNY said. It was not known what caused or led up to the collapse.
The FDNY said two people were removed from the rubble soon after the collapse. Arial footage showed firefighters frantically searching for two others, whom a senior city official later said were in the process of being extricated.
Video from Chopper 4 showed firefighters pull an injured man from the rubble around 4:45 p.m. He was taken away on a stretcher.
The conditions of those who had been found were not immediately available.
The building that collapsed appeared to have been a three story building with a business on the ground floor. It was located next to a construction site after the one-story building that previously had been there was fully demolished.
The city’s Office of Emergency Management advised people avoid the area, as traffic delays and road closures could be expected.
Multiple teams have responded to the scene, with dozens of firefighters seen examining the rubble. A rescue operation and an investigation into the collapse are ongoing.
