A tire from an FDNY truck blew suddenly Monday afternoon, and the pressure from the tire shattered a nearby storefront window on the Lower East Side, injuring several bystanders, officials say.
Ladder Company 18 was doing routine building inspection around 1:45 p.m. and pulled up to 160 Delancey St., officials said.
The driver of the truck hit a piece of metal on the street, and the tire exploded, shattering the glass on a nearby clothing store.
Three women walking by got some minor cuts from either the glass or debris, but refused medical treatment at the scene, officials said.
