Three men have been injured when a crane collapsed at a building in North\u00a0Sydney.<\/p>\n

The three workers \u2013 aged 24, 28 and 36 \u2013 were inside the crane when it malfunctioned, collapsed and hit a concrete well about 11.30am on Sunday, police said.<\/p>\n

The three were attached by safety harnesses, suspended about 60 metres off the ground, when the crane fell, but the 24-year-old managed to extricate himself and climbed to safety on the roof of the Meriton building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were 20 levels up, so it was quite high and they were hanging on the crane because it was in a vertical position,\u201d NSW police Inspt Ron James told the ABC.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

James said it was believed the workers were in the process of dismantling the crane when the accident occurred.<\/p>\n

Fellow workers used a second crane to lower a metal box to the trapped men, lowering them to the ground.<\/p>\n

All three men were taken to Royal North Shore Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n

Engineers will assess the site and SafeWork NSW will investigate the incident. Authorities grappled with the best way to dismantle the dangling crane piece by piece.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a very, very dangerous process and needs to be analysed very carefully,\u201d CFMEU union secretary Brain Park told Fairfax Media.<\/p>\n
