Eight killed and at least 17 injured in New York building collapse, city’s mayor Mamdani says

Three firefighters are among the injured after the three-storey building collapsed on Wednesday. Rescue efforts continue.

The New York fire department (FDNY) says the address was at 1321 Flatbush Avenue in the south-eastern borough of New York state.

The building was adjacent to a construction site, where plans had been approved for a new building. Active work was going on when the incident occurred, according to FDNY Chief of Department John Esposito.

The BBC’s US partner CBS News reports the Brooklyn building that collapsed was built in 1930, according to city records.
