A domestic dispute in a Queens home early Thursday culminated in a massive gas explosion that destroyed the building and injured multiple NYPD cops, officials said.
Police were called to settle the domestic dispute inside the two-story home on 130th St. near 109th Ave. in South Ozone Park about 2:45 a.m.
When police arrived, they were met by a woman who said her husband had locked himself in the basement, according to ABC7 New York.
She gave police the keys to the basement apartment and as cops attempted to gain access, a massive gas explosion rocked the building, cops said.
Seven police officers and a sergeant were injured in the blast.
The explosion was so severe that cops were knocked off their feet and were propelled against a nearby fence, police sources told ABC7.
Multiple FDNY fire units were called in to snuff out the five-alarm blaze.
The wounded cops were taken to an area hospital with minor injuries.
Officials said that 11 people lived in the building and were all accounted for.
The husband who had locked himself into the basement apartment doesn’t currently live in the building and remains unaccounted for.
