A commercial building has collapsed in a suburb of the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, killing at least seven people and injuring many more, officials say, according to BBC News.

Rescue workers have been searching for survivors in the rubble. A fire service spokesman said 26 had been pulled out alive. The two-story building was under construction, according to local media.

Reports said a clothing store was being erected at the site, located in the poor eastern district of Sao Mateus.
