BROOKLYN — Two children were hurt when a brick wall collapsed in a Bushwick home Friday evening, fire officials said.

A 25-foot section of a wall at 1054 Willoughby Ave., near Wilson Avenue, fell onto the children about 7:45 p.m. Friday, the FDNY said.

The children were taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center, the FDNY said. Their ages and conditions were not immediately known.
