A helicopter has crashed into the East River off Manhattan, with reports of people trapped inside.
The Eurocopter AS350 went down at about 7pm local time, according to a statement from the US Federal Aviation Administration.
They said that the helicopter "reportedly is inverted in the water".
Eric Phillips, spokesman for New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, said on Twitter: "NYPD and FDNY divers already
on the scene and in the water."
It is not known how many people were inside at the time but that model usually carries one pilot and five or six passengers.
