At least four people were injured after a partial building collapse at 2625 Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighbourhood on Wednesday, prompting a major rescue operation by the New York City Fire Department (FDNY).

Emergency crews launched a technical rescue operation shortly after 4 p.m., pulling at least two people from the rubble as concerns remained that others could be trapped beneath the debris.

Aerial footage showed large sections of the building's facade had collapsed, exposing interior rooms across several floors.

💡
City records indicate recent construction work at the property, and authorities are investigating whether it contributed to the structural failure.

Rescue operations remain ongoing, with officials yet to confirm the final number of people accounted for or determine the cause of the collapse.
