Scaffolding collapses in Copenhagen, one injured

A roughly 50-metre scaffolding structure collapsed on Nørrebrogade in Copenhagen on Tuesday, Copenhagen Police told Danish news agency Ritzau.

One person sustained minor injuries, with bleeding from the nose and leg, according to duty officer Nicolai Ullits. The cause of the collapse remains unknown.

Several power lines were torn down and are lying across the roadway. Police received the report at 17:31 and are working to cordon off the area, with emergency services also on scene. Images show the scaffolding nearly covering the entire width of Nørrebrogade near Nørrebro Station.

Public transport agency Movia told Ekstra Bladet it is rerouting bus services around the station.
