Fire officials say two people were injured in a partial wall collapse in Sunset Park.
Officials say two construction workers fell off scaffolding at 3-46 43rd St., causing a partial collapse of a wall that was being built. The property is the site of a new four-story building project.
The debris from the building hit another building next door.
Both workers were taken to a hospital, one in serious condition and the other with minor injuries.
Firefighters remained at the scene and said the incident was under control by 4 p.m.
