A five-storey building came crashing down Tuesday in Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment capital, killing at least six people and injuring nine others, a state official said. About two dozen people were feared trapped under the rubble.

The cause of the collapse of the building, which housed 15 families, was not immediately known, officials said.

Rescuers were digging through the rubble in search of more victims, said Tanaji Kamble, a spokesman for the Mumbai Municipal Corp.

The injured people were taken to a hospital, he said.

A resident said the building was 35 years old.
