NEW YORK (AP) - A boy has been injured after falling down an elevator shaft in a parking garage in Brooklyn.

Fire officials say it happened just after 8 p.m. Wednesday at a parking facility on Union Street in Park Slope.

Police say the boy was hospitalized in critical condition, but is expected to survive.

Witnesses tell WABC-TV the boy was quickly rescued because a firehouse is located near the garage.

No other information was immediately available.
