Several people in Connecticut were injured from a building that partially collapsed Friday a few blocks from Yale University. 

The building in New Haven was under construction at the time of the collapse. 

Some of the people who were rescued suffered injuries, a spokesperson for Mayor Justin Elicker said. The severity of their injuries wasn’t reported.

During a press conference a short time later, Elicker said seven people were injured, including two critically. 

Yale referred to it as a "building construction accident," in a campus alert sent out just after 1 p.m. local time, adding that Lafayette Street was closed between Church Street South and Congress Avenue.
