Two NYPD officers and three civilians were hurt when a manhole exploded in the Bronx Friday evening.
It’s not clear what caused the manhole to pop near East 156th Street and St. Ann’s Avenue in Melrose just before 7:30 p.m. Con Edison says no one lost power as a result of the explosion.
Video from the scene shows smoke rising from under a car. Police say the manhole cover came loose under a Buick parked on top of it.
All five people had minor injuries and went to the Jacobi Medical Center for treatment.
