At least eight people have been killed and 19 others injured, including children, after a three-story building collapsed near a construction site in New York.

Images from the scene showed firefighters sifting through a pile of rubble in front of what appeared to be a residential property with its walls torn down, exposing a bedroom and a clothing wardrobe.

The building fell into a neighbouring excavation site, trapping several people.

More than 250 firefighters and paramedics responded to the scene.
