NEW YORK — A building in Brooklyn partially collapsed Monday and injured four people, according to reports.

Three construction workers were at the site when the building collapsed on them, critically injuring one of them and hurting the other two, the New York Post reported.

A civilian who rushed to help the workers was also hurt.

FDNY and the Buildings Department are investigating the collapse, which may have been the result of critical structural supports being removed, according to a preliminary investigation.
