Seven teenagers fell through ice on an off-limits pond in New York's Central Park but were rescued.
It happened Monday evening at the southern end of the park.
Police say the 15- and 16-year-olds were on the ice when it gave way. A nearby sign said, "Danger Thin Ice Keep Off."
Police and fire rescue units including divers responded. Two good Samaritans also helped pull the teens out of the freezing water.

Bennett Jonas heard screams and ran into the water before rescue crews arrived.
“I grabbed a backpack. I didn't even know if he was attached to the backpack I had to go, I swam out, the water was under my head, I grabbed the backpack I could feel there was a body on it,” Jonas said.
One witness said she saw the boys posing for a picture when they went through the ice.
A police spokesman says the teens are expected to be OK.
