At least 77 people were injured after the floor of Jakarta's Indonesia Stock Exchange collapsed on Monday, Bloomberg reported, citing local police.
The collapse started in an internal balcony overlooking the main lobby where a group of students were visiting.
Police have cordoned off the two-tower, multi-story building and evacuated people after the collapse.

Indonesian police have ruled out a bomb as a cause of the collapse. "We can confirm that this was not because of a bomb," said national police spokesman Setyo Wasisto.
In 2000, the stock exchange was targeted in a car bomb which left 15 people dead and dozens injured.
