Six Teens Rescued From Central Park Pond After Falling Through Ice

by Associated Press

   Six teenagers have fallen through ice into an off-limits pond in New
   York's Central Park but have been 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 and pulled the
   teenagers out of the water.
   A police spokesman says the teens are expected to be OK.
