(Adds further details throughout) MADRID, Oct 7 (Reuters) – At least three construction workers were injured after a building under renovation partly collapsed in central Madrid, authorities said on Tuesday. Two people were lightly injured while a third person was taken to hospital with a broken leg, said Beatriz Martin, an emergency services spokesperson. The injured reported that several fellow construction workers were inside the building when it collapsed, Martin said, without providing a number for the missing. Police and firefighters were using drones and sniffer dogs to see if there were any people trapped inside the building located near the Spanish capital's opera house and the royal palace. The partial collapse of the five-story building occurred inside, leaving its facade intact, Martin added. The building was being converted into a hotel by developer Rehbilita, according to information on its website. Rehbilita didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
