There are fires at three manholes, which is where the explosion reportedly happened.
Firefighters eventually found elevated levels at an 18-story office building on 229 W. 43rd Street, and they were last seen venting that location.
"One manhole exploded in the Times Square area this evening due to cable failure, and a second manhole was smoking. At this time, there have been no customer outages, and no reports of injuries or property damage. Our crews remain on location," the spokesperson told several local outlets.
