Two workers were grievously injured when the balcony of a house in Valletta where construction works are being carried out collapsed as they stood on it.
The police said the accident happened at 1.10pm in Triq il-Lvant.
Although construction work was being carried out onsite, no work was taking place on the balcony, which was around one storey high.

They were both taken to Mater Dei Hospital by ambulance.
