Bronx, NY – Residents brawled with New York police outside the scene of an apartment building fire on Tuesday night, as the officers tried to keep the crowd back so firefighters could battle the flames.
The fire broke out inside an apartment kitchen on the top floor of the Grand Concourse complex at approximately 4:30 p.m., WNBC reported.
“We heard screaming, my mom opened the door and all you see was smoke and she said get out,” one resident told WCBS.
Over 100 firefighters were dispatched to the scene as tenants scrambled from their smoke-filled apartments and fled down fire escapes, WNBC reported.
Police responded to the scene to help clear a path through the crowds so the firefighters could get in and out of the building more quickly.
