Rio's civil defence department head Roberto Robadey told the Globo TV network that the mudslide in the city of Niteroi was caused by two days of heavy downpours.
He said people were killed and injured when a large boulder rolled on top of six houses in the Boa Esperanca neighbourhood.
Rescue workers were searching for victims and survivors trapped underneath the rubble and mud.
