UP to 50 people have been injured after a ferry struck a dock during rush hour in New York’s financial district.

The Seastreak Wall Street ferry from New Jersey apparently banged into the mooring as it arrived, leaving at least one person critically ill with head injuries.

Some passengers were carried out strapped to stretchers, their heads and necks immobilised.

About a dozen of them were spread out on the dock, surrounded by emergency workers.

A corner of the ferry appeared to have been ripped open.
