Three men have been injured when a crane collapsed at a building in North Sydney.
The three workers - aged 24, 28 and 36 - were inside the crane when it malfunctioned, collapsed and hit a concrete well about 11.30am on Sunday, police said.
The three were attached by lanyard, 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.
Fellow workers used a second crane to lower a metal box to the trapped men, lowering them to the ground.
All three were taken to Royal North Shore Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Engineers will assess the site and SafeWork NSW will investigate the incident.
