EAST RUTHERFORD — A construction worker was rescued from the old Railroad Cafe after part of the foundation collapsed Saturday.
The East Rutherford Fire Department was called to 170 Union Ave. just after 1:30 p.m. after getting word that there had been a wall collapse and someone was trapped, a Facebook post said. When they arrived, crews found three workers in the basement, with one pinned beneath the collapsed wall and the basement floor slab.
The building that housed the former restaurant had been purchased by a developer and was being renovated.
The Fire Department requested mutual aid from Wallington and the Urban Area Security Initiative Search and Rescue Metro Strike Team to help extract the man from the rubble.
"After an extensive technical operation, the worker was removed at 3:18 p.m. and transported to the hospital for his injuries," the Facebook post said.
East Rutherford police said the man suffered severe injuries and was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center.
Another worker went to the hospital with a leg injury. The Fire Department sent wishes for a "full and swift recovery" to the two injured men.
The Police Department said the building was demolished Saturday night after it was deemed unsafe.
