At least 72 people were injured after the floor of Jakarta's Indonesia Stock Exchange collapsed on Monday, Bloomberg reported, citing local police.

The collapse started in a 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.
