Onlookers describe scene as pandemonium.
Initial reports suggest that as many as 17 people – including two New York Police Department (NYPD) officers – have been injured when a Harlem building collapsed during demolition a short time ago.
Although details are still coming through on the news wires, it is thought that none of the injuries is life-threatening.
Reports suggest that the building and the supporting scaffolding landed on a passenger bus.
