At least two people have been killed and several others injured after part of a three-storey building collapsed in the Flatbush neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York. Rescue crews are continuing to search for people who may be trapped beneath the rubble.
The building stood next to a construction site, where work was taking place when part of the structure collapsed. Fire officials said residents and construction workers were among those at the site.
According to the New York City Fire Department, four people were in critical condition and 12 others were stable. One firefighter was also being treated for minor injuries.
A pregnant woman was rescued from the site. Officials said the search-and-rescue operation could continue for some time, while the cause of the collapse remains under investigation.
