A mezzanine floor collapsed in an east London pub on Saturday, leaving more than a dozen people injured.
The London Air Ambulance Service (LAS) responded to reports at 4:44 pm local time that an area of the building had caved in at the Two More Years bar and restaurant in Hackney Wick, near the site of the 2012 Olympic Gamesbased in the British capital.
Emergency services worked together to treat 13 injured, three of whom suffered potentially serious injuries. The other 10 had minor injuries, according to a statement.
About 50 people left the building before the London Fire Department arrived on the scene, the London Air Ambulance Service (LAS) said.
“Firefighters carried out a systematic search of the building and rescued seven people from inside,” Fire Brigade Commander Sacha Clement said in a press release.
“They were trapped in the remaining part of the mezzanine and crews used a ladder to bridge the floor to get them safely out of the building,” he added.
The venue is scheduled to remain closed for the time being, according to a post posted on the Two More Years Instagram account. “Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected,” the bar posted.
