Floor at Indonesia's stock exchange collapses, 20 injured
A floor at Indonesia's stock exchange collapsed into the building's lobby on Monday, injuring at least 20 people according to officials, as victims were carried out on stretchers.
Part of the floor on the first level gave way, sending a cascade of debris crashing onto the ground level, a Jakarta police spokesperson said, adding that it was an accident and not an explosion.
The director of the Indonesian stock exchange, Tito Sulistio, said those injured had been sent to hospital.
"At least 20 people have been injured, but I can definitely confirm there are no deaths," Sulistio said on Metro TV.
Those hurt mostly sustained injuries to their legs and arms, Jakarta police spokesperson Argo Yuwono said.
