A woman and a construction worker were trapped by rubble after the floor of a shopping center in China collapsed in a dramatic incident captured on CCTV.

The footage shows a woman crossing the floor of a fashion store on the second level of a mall in the city of Zhenjiang in the Jiangsu province.

They were sent to a nearby hospital, however, are now in stable condition.

Earlier this month, twenty firefighters were called to an office building in Sydney after a sinkhole opened up underneath the block.

About 20 people were evacuated from the area as firefighters worked to stabilize the site.

NSW Premier Chris Minns said structural engineers will be assessing whether the sinkhole was related to the construction of the M6 tunnel.
