Ten people have been killed and dozens more are thought to be trapped after an unfinished building collapsed in south-west Iran, the Iranian Red Crescent said.
Reports say, rescue teams have pulled 35 people from the rubble of the 10-storey Metropoloffice block in Abadan.
Pictures showed that concrete floors and steel beams had fallen on to the street below, crushing several cars, with the area officials saying the cause of the collapse was being investigated.
Local prosecutor Hamid Maranipour said both the Metropol’s owner and the building contractor had been arrested.END
