Updated 3 hours 5 minutes ago

Witnesses say a burning crane swayed violently over a central Sydney building site before its arm crashed on to the roof of a nearby building.

The crane's operator was forced to flee after the blaze broke out in a 1,000-litre diesel tank within the 65-metre-tall crane at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) building site in Ultimo just before 10am (AEDT).

Witnesses said they saw the crane's arm swaying violently before it came crashing down.

Photos posted on social media showed the arm crumpled and lying on the roof of a nearby UTS building.

Inspector Mark Reilly from the fire brigade says hundreds of people from the building site and surroundings buildings were evacuated.

No-one was injured in the incident.
