A New Jersey water park is closed after a decorative helicopter hanging from a ceiling crashed into a swimming pool and injured four people Sunday afternoon, authorities said.

The suspended prop fell at the DreamWorks Water Park, a venue that is part of the American Dream shopping and entertainment complex in East Rutherford.

One person was hospitalized while three others suffered injuries, state police told NorthJersey.com. None of the injuries were life-threatening. The ages of the victims and the extent of their injuries were not immediately released.

The venue was evacuated, and an investigation will take place, FOX5 New York reported.
