Breaking: FDNY responding to reports of building collapse, explosion in NYC
 

The NYPD and FDNY are responding to reports of an explosion and building collapse in upper Manhattan.

According to ABC News, witnesses reported hearing a large explosion in the five-story apartment building on Park Avenue near 116th Street in East Harlem around 9:30 a.m local time.

The fire department confirmed in a tweet that the explosion involves multiple buildings and have escalated the response to four alarms, with 39 units and 168 members responding. According to public records, the address that firefighters initially reponded to, a 5-story building on Park Avenue, was built in 1910.

“The whole building shook,” one nearby worker told the New York Post.

According to NBC's New York affiliate, at least four people were transported to local hospitals. Their conditions are unknown.

Metro North train service into and out of Grand Central Terminal was temporarily suspended as a result.

Photos posted to Twitter appear to show smoke and dust coming from the neighborhood north of Central Park.
