New York City emergency crews are responding to reports of an explosion and building collapse.

It is unknown if anyone has been hurt in the incident at 116th Street and Park Avenue on Wednesday morning.

East Harlem residents reported hearing a blast in the apartment building before it caved in, according to US media.

Aerial images of the site showed a huge pall of smoke or dust with fire crews dousing the rubble.

The local utility has been called to shut off the gas following the explosion, which damaged windows in the area, reports WABC TV.

"It was an explosion and a building collapsed," a spokesman for New York Police Department told AFP news agency.

Apartment building sounds nastily ominous... fingers crossed people managed to get out and this isn't anything more sinister than a gas leak.

Maybe it's a hole in the universum because there is a alternative universum.

I was over there today, All the buses (m101, m103, m102) had to take the longest route just to get back on track because they closed the street down. I'm pretty happy that none of the trains I take have any problems or delays
