Two construction workers were injured early Wednesday when a wall collapsed at a Lenox Square mall renovation project.

The 15-foot, concrete block wall fell about 3 a.m. as workers from Morley Environmental Inc. were doing demolition near the Neiman Marcus store, said company CEO John Morley.

Morley said one worker had a cut to his head and the other had a broken arm. Their names were not immediately released.

The cause of the collapse has not been determined, Morley said. He said about a dozen workers were at the site when the wall fell, but no other employees were injured.

The accident is being investigated by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
