Jakarta police spokesman Argo Yuwono said 77 people were injured and being treated at four hospitals, adding there were no fatalities in the incident.
Many people working in the building were crossing the walkway linking Tower 2 to Tower 1 of the building when it collapsed.
Many of the injured were university students who had been visiting the exchange.
Closed-camera footage that emerged hours later showed the platform giving way, with people fleeing from the falling walkway.
After the initial chaos, many rushed back in to help carry out the injured found amid bent steel structures, broken glass and other debris of what was left of the walkway.

The director of the stock exchange, Alpino Kianjaya, declined to comment on the incident. Markets reopened at 1.30pm local time as usual and business resumed in the afternoon.
The complex, which also houses the local office of the World Bank, was targeted by Islamist militants in a car bomb attack in 2000. At least 10 people died and dozens were injured in that incident.
