Crane dangling off Midtown building's roof: FDNY

More than 100 firefighters and police officers rushed to Midtown Monday afternoon after a construction crane atop a building collapsed at around 2:30 p.m., leaving its boom dangling off the roof, officials said.

The building, at 157 W 57th Street, is under construction and reportedly scheduled to open next year as the city's tallest luxury apartment building.

No injuries had been reported, according to an FDNY spokesman, who said the building had not collapsed.

"The boom of the crane is hanging off the side of the building," he said.

The spokesman said officials do not believe anyone is in the building, but that nearby buildings would be evacuated as a precaution. Police officers were blocking off streets from pedestrians and helping with evacuation efforts, according to the NYPD.

Earlier in the day, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said New Yorkers shouldn't be worried about construction sites around the city.

“We have worked very hard to make sure all cranes and construction sites are battered down, and we’ve had so far no indication of any debris blowing off a construction site," he said during a news conference. "But as the winds get worse, our precautions get tested more, and you never know."

FDNY and Port Authority officials dismissed reports of a broken crane at the World Trade Center site Monday afternoon.

"We have crews up on the 90th floor and we confirm there’s no issues with the crane at One World Trade Center," a Port Authority official told amNewYork.

Jury Convicts Man for Orally Raping Baby to Death

Evelynne (inset) and Steven Deuman

Steven Deuman, 26, of Suttons Bay, Michgan, has been found guilty of the August 2011 murder of his daughter, Evelynne Deuman, 15 weeks old. The young father was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated sexual assault for suffocating his child during an oral rape. Deuman told police that he went out for a cigarette and when he returned to their mobile home, he found the baby lying on the floor unconscious, not breathing, bleeding from the nose, with a used condom in her mouth. DNA testing showed Deuman’s DNA on the inside of the prophylactic, and the child’s on the outside.

Deuman did not call 911, but called his wife and told her that the baby had choked on a condom. However, according to the prosecution, “This was no accident. She couldn’t roll over, much less crawl. … She certainly wasn’t capable of overcoming the obstacles on her bed, the pillows, to end up on the floor. Even if (she did), how is she going to suck that condom up?” Not only did jurors have to endure the disturbing evidence of this case, but they also heard testimony from witnesses describing how Deuman allegedly sexually abused them as children. Jurors took less than 30 minutes to convict. Deuman faces life in prison.
