An SUV taxi somehow got stuck over a Con Edison structure just after 7 p.m. along West 42nd Street and Broadway.
Police were informed that a taxi driver drove over a metal grate with a manhole underneath, and got wedged on a piece of metal.
One of the back tires was almost completely in the hole.
Officials say debris struck the vehicle and caused a spark.
FDNY, Con Edison, and NYPD are on the scene investigating the incident and determined that this was not an explosion.
Con Edison said they are awaiting a tow truck to remove the cab stuck on one of their structures.
There were no reported injuries, and no customer outages.
