KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 — Two workers were injured when a concrete floor gave way in the Nu Sentral building under construction in KL Sentral, in Brickfields here, this morning.
It is learnt that other workers managed to escape when the third floor of the building gave away at about 11am.
Police said a 35-year-old Bangladeshi worker, who was working on the first floor of the complex, was injured when the floor suddenly collapsed. He was rushed to the University Malaya Medical Centre where he is undergoing surgery.
Brickfields OCPD ACP Wan Abdul Bahari Wan Abdul Kahlid said the worker was wearing his safety gear when he fell four metres to the ground.
It is learnt that the construction of the building started in 2009 and is expected to be completed next year.
A worker told The Malaysian Insider that three Bangladeshi workers were initially trapped when the floor collapsed. He said two have already been rescued but one remained unaccounted for.
