A three-story Brooklyn building housing a gym collapsed Wednesday afternoon, leaving one person injured and a massive pile of rubble and debris strewn on the street. The building at the corner of Court and Union streets in Carroll Gardens came crashing down at around 4:30 p.m. in the tony neighborhood. Officials said that the building – home to Body Elite Gym for the past 36 years – was vacant at the time of the collapse. But the man who was injured was inside the building’s second-floor and was able to escape with minor injuries, FDNY officials said. He was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital. The #NYPD was seen using #K9 units to search the wreckage in the immediate aftermath of the collapse.
Rigth now in Portland. Protesters in Portland, Ore., reportedly started a bonfire underneath the historic Elk statue near the federal courthouse and ripped off wood boards protecting the building's windows to use for firewood and barricades. Protesters threw water bottles and other projectiles as police fired pepper balls and at least one flash-bang at protesters in front of the courthouse. Demonstrators also reportedly set off fireworks in the direction of the Multonomah County Justice Center. Protesters lined up and kneeled in front of the federal courthouse holding barricades in front of themselves while police, stationed inside the building, fired pepper balls if they got too close. The protest comes one day after Portland police declared a “riot” and arrested dozens of protesters while trying to clear the crowd.
