A building collapse in Brooklyn left at least one person dead and multiple injured and trapped under rubble, according to officials.

The three-story residential structure crumbled into an open construction site around 4pm on Wednesday on Bedford Avenue in Flatbush.

Multiple people were left stuck under the rubble, including workers who were on site when the building came crashing down, the FDNY said.

One person was pronounced dead at the scene and six others were taken to the hospital in critical condition, FDNY told NBC 4.

At least six others were injured, including one individual who was still trapped under the debris and communicating with first responders.

He was removed on a stretcher at around 4.45pm before two others who were also trapped under the rubble were pulled out just after 6.30pm, according to the outlet.

Video from the scene showed firefighters lifting victims from the debris and onto stretchers.
