BRUSSELS (AP) — A large scaffolding has collapsed onto the street in the diamond district in Antwerp, Belgium, injuring several people.

Pictures posted on the local firefighters' Twitter account showed that the scaffolding, which appeared to be several stories high and several houses wide, had tumbled onto the street.

The incident took place Wednesday in the center of the port city. It was not immediately clear how many people were left under the debris.
