A worker was injured when a building under construction collapsed on Broadway Thursday morning.

The building is located at 25-26 Broadway, across the street from the Strand Smokehouse. The collapse occurred at 10 a.m. as a result of cement pouring, according to FDNY officials on site.

One worker sustained minor injuries.

According to City documents, the building under construction will be a six-story, 10-unit residence with retail.

The Department of Buildings will investigate the collapse, the FDNY said.

Developers could not immediately be reached for comment.

Red Storm stars reflect on historic season with fans dreaming of deep run during March Madness

In just his second year at the helm of the St. John’s Red Storm, basketball Hall of Famer Rick Pitino was named Big East Coach of the Year on Wednesday after leading his squad to its first outright regular season conference championship in 40 years and matched a program record 27 regular season victories. The Johnnies lost just four games all season by seven points combined. St. John’s also went an undefeated 18-0 at home for the first time since 1931-32. It earned them their highest national ranking (No. 6) since the 1990-91 season.

Pitino is the first St. John’s coach to be named the Big East’s Coach of the Year since Lou Carnesecca, who died on Saturday, Nov. 30, at age 99 and just five weeks shy of his 100th birthday.
