Authorities say a section of the facade inside an underpass of the Brooklyn Bridge collapsed Wednesday evening, injuring five people.
The facade collapsed just before 8 p.m. Wednesday during a passing thunderstorm.
A fire department spokesman says the collapse involved a roughly 25-foot wide section of the facade.
All of the injuries were minor. It wasn’t immediately known who was hurt.
Department of Buildings inspectors are investigating.
There is no word on what caused the collapse.
